Image: Linlithgow - 'The Prospect of their Maj'ties Palace of Linlithgow' (5372742542)
Description: Linlithgow Palace rises above loch and town, in this view from the west. Mary, Queen of Scots was born in the palace in 1542. In 1745, almost 50 years after Slezer's view was published in Theatrum Scotiae, the palace was gutted by fire, and it has remained a ruin ever since. The crown on the tower of St Michael's Church to the right was removed in the 1800s, but was replaced in 1869 by a replica of the impressive crown seen here on the palace tower. Figures in this view include fishermen in boats and people walking on the palace embankment. Image from Theatrum Scotiae by John Slezer, 1693. http://digital.nls.uk/slezer/engraving.cfm?sl=10
