Bonne, Ingénieur Hydrographe de la Marine. Signed Andre Sculp in the Bottom Right. Photos Signed by JBB (John? Buchanan) Photographer Describes himself: I have had a keen interest in photography for over 30 years. Having dabbled in darkrooms in the days of film, I always felt that the process of creating an image didn't stop when you tripped the shutter. I know that there are some who would consider themselves purists, and see this as "cheating." I disagree. Photographers now have more creative freedom than ever before, and that's a good thing, in my humble opinion. ? ?My main passion is photographing the landscapes of Scotland. I truly believe that I am lucky to live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. ? I hope you enjoy my vision of our wonderful land. It is certainly my pleasure to share it with you.

The palace was commissioned by James I in 1424 after a fire damaged the earlier residence. It became a favored resting place for the royalty traveling between Edinburgh Castle and Stirling Castle. The peace and fresh air appealed particularly to the Stewart queens, and the palace served as the royal nursery for James V, Mary Queen of Scots, and Princess Elizabeth. However, the palace declined after James VI moved the royal court to London in 1603. It suffered further damage in a fire in 1746. The palace, situated on a site occupied since Roman times, overlooks a small inland loch. The name "Linlithgow" means ‘the loch in the damp hollow’. The first royal residence on the site likely dates back to the reign of David I. The site's peace was disrupted in 1296 when Edward I of England invaded Scotland and built a defense around the royal residence called "pele". The name "Linlithgow Peel" now refers to the parkland around the palace. The palace's construction spanned over a century, with various monarchs adding noteworthy features such as the Great Hall by James I, royal apartments by James IV, and a three-tiered courtyard fountain by James V. The result was an impressive quadrangular palace with four ranges surrounding a central courtyard. Map Size: 9 1/2 x 15 in. Photo Overall Size: 10 3/4 x 8 1/4 in. Photo Sight Size: 6 x 4 in. #4844
