Hotels Close to St. Michael's Parish Church
In 1994 there was begun a process of improving the interior of the church buildings. New toilet facilities, updated heating and a complete re-decoration of the church were undertaken. This was completed around 2000. With this done, the congregation girded its loins to face the much more daunting task of restoring the structure of the building itself. There was obvious need to replace much stonework which had become eroded by time and weather. Since the aim was to secure the viability of the fabric for the next hundred years, there was also a need to make good any hidden weaknesses in the roof.Jocelyn Cunliffe of Gray Marshall & Associates was appointed as architect and professional adviser to St Michael’s. An extensive survey of the structural state was completed and a schedule of work...

The ruins of Linlithgow Palace are situated in the town of Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland, 15 miles west of Edinburgh. A royal manor existed on the site in the 12th century. This was replaced by a fortification known as 'the Peel', built in the 14th century by English forces under Edward I. The site of the manor made it an ideal military base for securing the supply routes between Edinburgh Castle and Stirling Castle.In 1424, the town of Linlithgow was partially destroyed in a great fire. King James I started the rebuilding of the Palace as a grand residence for Scottish royalty, also beginning the rebuilding of the Church of St Michael immediately to the south of the palace: the earlier church had been used as a storeroom during Edward's occupation.

It served as a state prison, holding such prisoners as Cardinal Beaton, and the 6th Earl of Angus.Strengthened by Sir James Hamilton of Finnart in the mid 16th century, the castle became one of the most advanced artillery fortifications of its time in Scotland. A century later, these defences were no...

George Square is the principal civic square in the city of Glasgow, Scotland. Named after King George III, George Square was laid out in 1781, part of the innovative Georgian central grid plan that initially spanned from Stockwell Street east to Buchanan Street—which reflected the growing rational influence of the Scottish Enlightenment, along with the similar development of Edinburgh's New Town. This masterplan was largely the work of the notable contemporary architects James and Robert Adam. For the first few years however it was little more than a muddy hollow, filled with dirty water and used for slaughtering horses. Between 1787 and the 1820s, the square was eventually opened up and lined with Georgian townhouses at its east and west ends, as well as hotels. 1842 saw the opening of Qu...
