Holyrood was … a monastery in 1128
Holryood was originally a monastery in 1128. When Edinburgh was recognized as the capital of Scotland, the kings chose to live in Holyrood, perched on a rock and surrounded by properties. It was James IV who built a palace there for his wife in 1501. A century later, Holyrood received a major restyling for the coronation of Charles I.
King George V and Queen Mary continued the restoration into the 20th century with the installation of bathrooms and electricity, among other things. They regarded Holyrood as their family home and began the tradition of parties in the royal garden.
