Linlithgow Palace

James I ordered work on a palace to begin in 1424, following a fire that severely damaged the earlier residence. The elegant, new ‘pleasure palace’ became a welcome rest stop for royals on the busy road between Edinburgh Castle and Stirling Castle.

Mary, Queen of Scots, was born on 8th of December 1542 at Linlithgow Palace, to King James V and his French second wife, Mary of Guise. Mary was baptised at the nearby Church of St Michael shortly after she was born. On 14th December, six days after her birth, she became Queen of Scotland when her father died.

The palace fell quickly into decline when James VI (son of Mary) moved the royal court to London in 1603, following his coronation as James I of England.

The palace’s north quarter, which probably housed the queen’s apartment where Mary was born, fell to the ground in 1607. It was rebuilt around 1620, on the orders of James VI. The Duke of Cumberland’s army destroyed most of the palace buildings by burning in January 1746.

Look at this beauty!!!!. . Amazing photo taken by @sergejk87 . . . Turjak Castle, one of the most important castles in the former Duchy of Carniola, was first mentioned in historical sources in 1220. It was built by the knights von Auersperg. The appearance presented by Turjak Castle today is that of a Renaissance fortification of the 16th century, since the castle was rebuilt following an earthquake in 1511. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- #gradturjak #turjak #igslovenia #velikelasce #outdoorljubljana #beautifulslovenia #sloveniaoutdoors #bestcastles #yourcastles @world_of_castles #castellinelmondo #renaissence #razgledislovenije #objevujslovinsko #castleswow #medievaltimes #monumentalworld #monumental_world #amazingcastle #ig_balkan #slovenija🇸🇮 #discover_slovenia_in_pictures #gradovislovenije #sloveniais4love #loveslovenia #feelslovenia #travelslovenia #castles_oftheworld @castleandchateau #turjakcastle #gradovi #luxuryslovenia https://www.instagram.com/p/CDi8LH1M8fX/?igshid=7nw9x8xzrxwa

Castelo does Mouros (The Moorish Castle) is a medieval castle/ruinous remains set upon a lush mountain in Sintra, Portugal. Set as far back as the 9th century, the African Moors established this fortification before the Christian conquest of Portugal. . Our visit was clouded with fog, no less mystical, but more obscurity in terms of being able to see the town and Pena Palace from those high views. . Pro-tip: Wear good, sturdy shoes and stay hydrated. It's a hard climb, even if you're fit. #lisbon #portugal #castles #moorishcastle #sintra #portugaltravel #wanderlust #theglobalwanderer #travelphotography #oldarchitecture #penapalace #visitlisbon #visitsintra #yourcastles #your_castles#wanderlust #adventureseeker #doyoutravel #travelmore #goexplore #wonderfulplaces #openmyworld #lovetotravel #adventurethatislife #roamtheplanet (at Castle of the Moors) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1O6t-cD6iD/?igshid=a4auqa8k4qr6

Fantastic day at #GlamisCastle for the Scottish Transport Extravaganza.

Midhope Castle, also known as Lallybroch, home of Jamie Fraser (Outlander).

The property was owned by the Martin family in 1478, and they had a castle here, but passed to the Livingstones soon afterwards. James Lindsay, Lord Lindsay, had a ratification of 1592 for the lands of Midhope, with the tower and fortalice thereof. Midhope belonged to the Drummonds of Midhope, who were in possession during part of the 16th and 17th centuries, and Alexander Drummond of Midhope remodelled the tower in 1587 and his initials with those of his wife Marjorie Bruce are on a former lintel now above a gateway. Alexander Drummond of Midhope is on record in the 1640s, then Sir Robert Drummond of Midhope in 1647 and 1661.

The property passed to the Livingstones in 1664, and the intials of George Livingstone, 3rd Earl of Linlithgow are on a lintel, then went to the Hopes in 1678 and they remodelled the building. In 1710 the place was described as ‘a fine towerhouse with excellent gardens, one of the seats of the Earls of Hopetoun’. Midhope Castle was used to house farm workers after the building of nearby Hopetoun House, and in 1851 53 people lived here, but it was later abandoned and is now semi-derelict, although the outside was consolidated in 1988. The castle lies on the extensive Hopetoun estate.

GER// Steillagenweinbau an der Ahr! Hier die Weinbergslage Marienthaler Trotzenberg. An der Ahr besonders extrem. Die Bewirtschaftung in Falllinie erfolgt oft mit Seilzug (Sitzpflug). Alle wesentlichen Pflegearbeiten wie Bodenbearbeitung, Pflanzenschutz, Düngung, Laubschnitt, Traubentransport und chemische Unkrautbekämpfung lassen sich so mechanisieren. Die Traubenlese erfolgt jedoch weiterhin von Hand.Sind die Parzellen durch Zwischenmauern unterbrochen, erfolgt die Bewirtschaftung in reiner Handarbeit. Lediglich Material- und Personentransport kann manchmal über Einschienen-Zahnradbahnen (Monorack) erfolgen. In den extremen Steillagen wie hier am Trotzenberg ist meistens reine Handarbeit angesagt. ⁠ ⁠ ENG// Steep slope viticulture on the Ahr! Here the vineyard site Marienthaler Trotzenberg. Particularly extreme on the Ahr. The cultivation in the fall line is often done with a cable pull (sitting plough). All essential maintenance work such as soil cultivation, plant protection, fertilisation, leaf pruning, grape transport and chemical weed control can be mechanised in this way. However, the grape harvest is still done by hand.If the plots are interrupted by intermediate walls, cultivation is done purely by hand. Only the transport of materials and people can sometimes be done by monorack. In the extreme steep slopes, such as here on the Trotzenberg, pure manual labour is usually the order of the day. ⁠ ⁠ #amazingshots_castle #castles_oftheworld #bestcastles #castlemypassion #castellidelmondo #castlespalaces #castle_photogroup #castletraveltours #manor_n_castle #castellinelmondo #castleandchateau #mobicastle #scatto_castle #YourCastles #castlespalacesguide #travel_2_germany #germanysworld #meinedeutschlandliebe #prettygermany_ #houses_phototrip #germanculturephotos #ig_deutschland #visitgermany #phoenix_germany #batpixs_germany #travel_drops #raw_germany #my_view_of_germany #srs_germany #german_landscape — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3thorv8
