1 Linlithgow Palace

This royal pleasure palace and birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots became the backdrop for some of the most harrowing scenes of the TV show Outlander .

Depicted as Wentworth Prison, the prison corridors and entrance were used in episode 15 of the first series when Jamie Fraser was brutally incarcerated by his adversary, Black Jack Randall.

Built in the 1400s and 1500s, the now-ruined palace is set among the spectacular surrounds of Linlithgow Loch and Peel.

2 Stirling Castle

Stirling Castle is one of Scotland’s most impressive castles due to its imposing position overlooking the whole of the Forth Valley and its impressive architecture.

From Stirling Castle’s walls , visitors can take in views of the Forth Valley and Ben Lomond , as well as two of Scotland’s most important battle sites – Stirling Bridge (1297) and Bannockburn (1314). The castle is at the head of Stirling’s historic old town.Like Edinburgh Castle , Stirling sits on a volcanic rock dominating the city skyline .

King James IV created the Great Hall, the largest medieval banqueting hall ever built in Scotland, and James V’s Royal Palace , with its lavishly decorated Renaissance façades, was a masterpiece of the period.

Major conservation work has been carried out at Stirling Castle over many years to preserve the attraction as a major national and international monument. The refurbishment of the Great Hall was completed 15 years ago . A particular feature of the Great Hall is stained glass windows featuring clan crests . A number of banquets , concerts and special events are held in the Hall throughout the year .
