Ceilidh in the palace

Linlithgow is a gorgeous wee town just few miles from Edinburgh. So when we’ve been invited by a friend to go to a Ceilidh there is was already attractive, but when we also heard that it would have taken place into the palace there was not way that we could say no.

The Linlithgow Palace is one of the most beautiful historic monuments in Scotland. We’ve already been there just as tourist in one occasion and the central courtyard is the perfect place for Scottish traditional dance.

After a wonder around the loch and the park surrounding the palace we enjoyed one of the finest Ceilidh we’ve ever been to. We’ve danced for hours under the bright sky. The band performed not only the classic but also some new tunes. The participants were a mix between the town inhabitants plus a group of foreign students from the local language school.
