Mein Ehedings hat gefragt ob ich da sofort einziehen möchte …. Blumen und Fahrräder 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

On this day in history. 70 years ago today, on 27 July 1953, an armistice brought about a cease-fire in the Korean War. This is the poignant Scottish Korean War Memorial in the Bathgate Hills near Linlithgow. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/linlithgow/koreanwarmemorial/index.htm

A short walk around the pretty village of Linlithgow. Not strenuous but very fine.
The loch. The palace. The pub

The Union Canal at Linlithgow. After four years' construction it opened in 1822 and its 31½ lock-free miles follow the 240ft contour from Edinburgh to Falkirk, giving it the name it was known by at the time, the "mathematical river".

Another pair of photos from yesterday's perambulation at Linlithgow Loch.

This coot has built a gorgeous nest, only 2m from the footpath round the loch. When you crouch down, you can see why!

Went for a walk by Linlithgow Loch yesterday afternoon. The birds were on form as always.

Here we see a swan in classic DILLYGAF mode, trying to sleep on the loch side pavement. Another swan and two geese 3m away on the grass appeared to be steadfastly ignoring his attention seeking nonsense!

The imposing south front of Linlithgow Palace seen through its outer gate. King James V and his daughter Mary, Queen of Scots were both born here, and its origins probably date back to a royal manor house built on the site in the 1100s.

A year ago today. Early morning light on the east end of what, I suppose, you could make a case for being, the Palatine Chapel of St Michael...

i think what i love so much about castle ruins is that they give me hope for the time when the oligarchs' spoils have outlasted them & the aristocracy of today are no more. #linlithgow #scotland #castle #ruins

walking along the union canal & through the woods, when - boom! 'peekaboo, i'm a castle. hi!'

Locals are angry after renaming of 350yr old The Black B*tch pub and its links to legend of a black greyhound whose master was sentenced to starve to death on #Linlithgow loch. Simple... call it The Black Bick or Bikko? The Scots Language words for Bitch! https://www.dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/bick_n1

The rebrand of the Black B*tch Pub to The Willow Tree in #Linlithgow is now complete. New logo appears to show the black greyhound urinating on the Willow Tree. One local said: “The Black B*tch strikes back!”

Life is a snowglobe ❄️🥳

Icy cycle along the #ForthClydeCanal from #Glaagow to #Linlithgow. Over the new bridge at Stockingfield. Beautiful day for it!

On this day in history. Mary Queen of Scots was born 479 years ago today on 8 December 1542 in Linlithgow Palace. Mary is the most intriguing, most studied, and most famous of all Scottish monarchs: probably because she seems the most human.
