What is recorded here
Linlithgow Palace West Range still stands as a medieval building component in West Lothian, Scotland. The main palace has lost more of its shape through time, but this western block keeps its own line against the sky. It is the kind of place where old stone stops sounding like a ruin and starts sounding like a witness.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Linlithgow Palace West Range as Building Component (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Linlithgow Palace West Range was built by the Stewart (later Stuart) royal family in the late 15th century, with significant additions in the early 16th century. It is important as part of Linlithgow Palace, the birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots, and as a key example of late medieval royal architecture in Scotland.
