On
our final day in Edinburgh, we visited the grounds of the Palace of
Holyroodhouse. Our visit included the Queen's Gallery, the palace, the gardens
and a walking tour of the nearby Holyrood Park. The Palace of Holyroodhouse was
where Mary Queen of Scots spent alot of time. It is also where Queen Elizabeth
awards honors to Scottish notables including the Order of the Thistle. Sean
Connery was knighted by the Queen at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in 2000.
