St. Michael's Parish Church

Reviewed By Margo7850p

It is a historical church, although rebuilt in some parts. A fabulous church with impressive architecture and stained glass windows.The churchyard is worth a look as well. The cemetery is full of headstones worth taking a look at . Even if you come here primarily for the palace, this church adjoining the palace is very beautiful. Definitely worth visiting for just a few minutes.

Linlithgow Loch is a large expanse of water which is bounded by Linlithgow Town centre to the south and M9 motorway on its northern banks. The Loch is very peaceful and when I visited in September 2020 there was hardly anyone around, there were more swans to be seen than people. It is possible to walk around the full perimeter of the Loch but I had a stroll around the southern banks when I visited which was pleasant and relaxing. Linlithgow Loch is place that is definitely worth exploring when in West Lothian.

This is a cafe with a small art gallery. Good place to stop after going to Linlithgow Palace. It is right outside the Palace.

The Cross Well

Reviewed By paullegate - St Ives, United Kingdom

The Cross Well is in the centre of Linlithgow along the High Street opposite the Burgh Halls and has been carved in the shape of a crown, it is extremely ornate. There has been a well on the site since 16th Century but the current well was created in 1807 by stone mason Robert Gray. The structure seems well placed outside the Burgh Halls and is worth visiting whilst in Linlithgow.
