First day in Scotland and a lovely day had by all at Linlithgow Palace, birthplace of Queen Mary of Scots. Heather and Callum had a wonderful time climbing all the towers (4 in total), wonderful stone spiral staircases that tend to go on forever, one we were able to reach the top where we got a wonderful view down to the court yard. These palaces certainly make the exploring fun when there are no roofs or floors and you can see through all the different levels. Heather took us through every corridor, tower and nook and cranny. We were then joined by Jenny, Hannah and Alfie for a jousting event. There were a few things on for the kids like archery, tug of wars and battles with knights then the main event of jousting which was all good fun. We totally exhausted the kids today and tomorrow more fun looking at ruined old stuff. We're off across the Firth to Aberdour castle and Dunfermline abbey and palace (yes 2 in one day).
