At the other end of the Royal Mile you will find my favorite spot in Edinburgh.
Holyrood Palace is the official residence of the monarchy in Scotland.
Queen Elizabeth spends time there each Summer.
It has been the home of Scottish royalty since the 15th Century.
It was the home of Mary, Queen of Scots and
you can visit her chambers in the older Northwest Tower
and see the spot where her private secretary Rizzio was murdered.
Unfortunately, no cameras allowed inside.
However, the true highlight for me was outside
and I could take pictures to my hearts content.
The ruins are what remains of the Holyrood Abbey
founded in 1128 by King David I of Scotland.
Again, I'm just at a loss for words.
When I step into a space like this, it's like stepping into another time.
It's consuming and breathtaking.
I so wish I had the words.
I hope the pictures can give you some feel of the place.
It's fantastic and I get chills just thinking about it.
