Holyrood Park is a windswept, hilly public park, but a few minutes walk from Edinburgh Old Town. Holyrood Palace, the royal residence in Scotland, is situated on the edge of the Royal Park. With its volcanic cliff faces, steep pathways, mini lochs, and hillside ruin (St. Anthony's Chapel, which dates back to the 15th century), Holyrood reflects the rugged, natural landscape that can be found across Scotland on a grander scale.
