The Palace is perhaps best known as the home of Mary, Queen of Scots, and as the setting for many of the dramatic episodes in her turbulent reign. Mary was married at Holyroodhouse and witnessed the brutal killing of her secretary Rizzio by her jealous second husband, Lord Darnley, in her private apartments. The Palace briefly served as the headquarters of Bonnie Prince Charlie during the 1745 uprising. Today the State Apartments are used regularly by The Queen and other members of the Royal Family for State ceremonies and official entertaining. What there is to see: The State Apartments reflect the changing tastes of successive monarchs and are renowned for their fine plasterwork ceilings and magnificent furnishings, particularly the unrivalled collection of Brussels tapestries. One of the most famous rooms in the Palace is the Great Gallery, hung with Jacob de Wet's portraits of the real and legendary kings of Scotland. Included on the visit, a display focuses on the Order of the Thistle, the highest honour in Scotland. The Order honours Scottish men and women who have held public office or who have contributed in a particular way to national life. Shown alongside historic insignia is an example of the mantle worn at the Thistle ceremony at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh, which The Queen attends during her visit to the Palace in July. From 1 April to 31 October the gardens, which are today used for garden parties, can be included as part of a visit to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Visitors to the gardens must keep to the paths, which are about 400 yards long. The Queen's Gallery at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh hosts a programme of changing exhibitions from the Royal Collection. Book here.

Rätsel umgeben diese 5.000 Jahre alte Welterbestätte. Besuchen Sie dieses prähistorische Monument im Südwest en und entscheiden Sie selbst ob Stonehenge als Ort für Sonnenanbeter, oder als Teil eines riesigen astronomischen Kalenders, oder etwas komplett anderes vorgesehen war! Es wird ein ehrfurchtgebietender Familienbesuch, denn Stonehenge ist eine kraftvolle Erinnerung an die einst große Stein- und Bronzezeit. Jede Phase von Stonehenge war eine kreisförmige Struktur, ausgerichtet auf die aufgehende Sonne zur Sonnenwende. Zwischen 3.000 v.Chr. und 1.600 n.Chr. wurden die Steine errichtet und Hunderte von Kilometern über Land und Meer transportiert. Geweihe und Knochen wurden genutzt, um die Gruben zu graben die die Steine halten. Moderne Techniken der Archäologie und eine Reihe von jüngsten Grabungen halfen dabei neue Theorien über die Steine zu formulieren, aber ihr letztendlicher Zweck bleibt ein faszinierendes und bleibendes Mysterium. Hinweis für Senioren und Studenten: Das Personal in Stonehenge bittet darum dass alle Personen die Voucher mit Studenten- oder Seniorenermäßigung haben, auch einen gültigen Ausweis vorlegen. Dies geschieht um unnötige Verwirrung oder jegliche Missverständnisse zu vermeiden wenn Sie bei Ankunft nach einem Nachweis gefragt werden.
