Summary The Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh is the British monarch's barely known official residence in Scotland. Unlike Edinburg castle, which overlooks the Scottish capital from a high hill like a true citadel, as do other feudal)age Scottish castles, it's more like a continental palace. Queen Mary furnished it in rich French fashion after her stay in Blois castle and shirt-lived marriage to the dolphin, until the Rizzo affair caused her flight. After Cromwellian misery, Stuart Restoration king James II would make it a grand showcase of his age's French fashion before moving to London as new king of England too.
