About Venue

The Queen is in residence at the Palace of Holyroodhouse during Holyrood week, which usually takes place from the end of June to the beginning of July. Then the Scottish variant of the Royal Standard of the United Kingdom is flown, and the Royal Company of Archers forms Her Majesty's ceremonial bodyguard.

The Queen received His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI at Holyroodhouse during The Pope’s official visit to the UK in September 2010. The gift presented by His Holiness to Her Majesty, a facsimile of the Lorsch Gospels, is on display at the Palace.

    Make timd to visit here. You will be pleasantly suprised with the amount to look at and the history it holds. Staff are exceptionally helpful. Im disabled and they coudnt have done any more to assist. Please try the cafe - great coffee and food all reasonsblt priced. The insite shop is a little pricey but its a Royall Palace so thats to be expected. However, the guide books, postcards and fancy royal tea in tins , and tea towells, were reasonibly priced. The garden are beautiful and it takes your breath away to stand in the garden looking at Arthurs Seat right next to it. Although you cannot take photos inside the palace - you can outside and in the gardens. I managed to take some spectauler pictures. Would i go there again - yes i would. Its one of those places where each time you visit you will notice something new/ differant its just there is so much to see you wont always see it all the first couple of times.

    Holyrood Palace is a beautiful and fascinating place to visit. The palace is full of history and stunning architecture, but the highlight for me was the old Holyrood Abbey. The ruins are absolutely breathtaking and have a unique, peaceful atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. It’s a must visit for anyone exploring Edinburgh and interested in Scotland’s rich history. Highly recommended!

    Such a beautiful historical place, the ruins of the Abbey & the Palace. It's great you can get a headset & player which means you can do the your in your own time & replay any room when you need. The history of the Royal family & Scotland is so interesting, there's so much to take in & see. Mary Queen of Scots of course is the favourite ❤️. I'd recommend getting a ticket before you go. You cantbtske photos inside the palace itself, but you can everywhere else. The cafe sells delicious coffee & treats & the gift shop is worth a visit.

    Well organised and thoughtful movement through the venue. Wonderful multimedia guide to talk you through the rooms. The wardens in each room are incredibly helpful and will answer any questions you have if they can. Quite a complex history to keep track of but picked up quite a bit as we went along. Definitely worth seeing when in Edinburgh

    We enjoyed our visit to the palace. Both the outside and inside are magnificent. The price is, compared to other castles in Scotland, quite high. Especially if you are not allowed to take pictures inside. Would recommend visiting while in Edinburgh.
