Linlithgow Palace is located between the political centers of Edinburgh and Stirling.  Originating in the 12^th century, the structure was the home of Scotland’s monarchs.  The palace was enlarged in 1301, destroyed by fire in 1350, rebuilt during the 15^th century, and regularly expanded until 1624.  It was burned in 1746 and fell into the ruin visible today.  The painting captures a 2006 vantage.

 The Axis

A Legend of Linlithgow Palace

. . .  Linlithgow Palace is home to our monarchs, making this courtyard the center of Scotland.  A nation in miniature exists here, within these massive walls.  Little more than a  spectator, I watch the activity transpiring before me. . . .
