The Palace of Holyroodhouse is located at the end of the Edinburgh Royal Mile. The Palace is open throughout the year, so book a tour to hear about past Royals that have stayed and find out about all the history that is within the walls of this famous attraction, it’ll be a great day out for all the family.
Explore the Palace’s close associations with some of Scotland’s most well-known historic figures such as Mary, Queen of Scots and Bonnie Prince Charlie, and learn how today it is used by The King when carrying out official engagements in Scotland.
See a rare surviving painting by Artemisia Gentileschi, the greatest female artist of her generation, in a new temporary display at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
The rediscovered painting, Susanna and the Elders, sheds fresh light on Artemisia’s time in London in the late 1630s, working alongside her father at the court of Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria.
Shown alongside it is Self-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting, considered one of Artemisia’s greatest works. The two paintings form a new temporary display, taking their place in the ornate baroque interiors of the Palace.
The display is included as part of your visit to the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
