The Palace of Holyroodhouse is the official residence in Scotland of Her Majesty The Queen and stands at the end of Edinburgh's Royal Mile against the spectacular backdrop of Arthur's Seat. This fine baroque palace is closely associated with Scotland's rich history, and is perhaps best known as the home of Mary, Queen of Scots, who was twice married in the Abbey at Holyroodhouse and witnessed the brutal killing of her secretary Rizzio by her jealous second husband, Lord Darnley, in her private apartments.
