A view of the Palace of Holyrood
Holyrood Abbey is a ruined abbey of the Canons Regular in Edinburgh, Scotland. The abbey was founded in 1128 by King David I. During the 15th century, the abbey guesthouse was developed into a royal residence, and after the Scottish Reformation the Palace of Holyroodhouse was expanded further. The abbey church was used as a parish church until the 17th century, and has been ruined since the 18th century. The remaining walls of the abbey lie adjacent to the palace, at the eastern end of Edinburgh's Royal Mile. The site of the abbey is protected as a scheduled monument.
The palace as it stands today was built between 1671–1678 in a quadrangle layout.

Palace of Holyroodhouse
Holyrood Abbey :) I found the Abbey quite peaceful after a day walking up and down the Royal Mile. At one end sits Edinburgh Castle and the other end is Holyrood Palace. The Palace itself is pretty and fun on the inside. The Abbey on the outside is where all the history seems to come alive. We ended up being there on a drizzly morning and the rain made everything seem crisp and fresh. There’s a fee to get in and see Holyrood but it’s worth visiting at least once to see the Abbey and the gardens. #history
