    Your group can enjoy a summer guided tour of the gardens at the Palace of Holyroodhouse with a visit to the historic State Apartments. Your tour explores the fascinating history of the Palace grounds from the 14th century to the present day with an expert guide. It takes you to the site of the ancient menagerie, the rare Wentworth elm trees, the 17th-century sundial and the Jubilee Border.

    You also hear how the grounds are used today for The Queen’s annual Garden Party. The tour of the Palace gardens is followed by refreshments in the Café at the Palace. From this point onwards, your group is free to explore the Palace and its rich history at their leisure with an audio tour.


    The income from your ticket contributes directly to The Royal Collection Trust, a registered charity. The aims of The Royal Collection Trust are the care and conservation of the Royal Collection, and the promotion of access and enjoyment through exhibitions, publications, loans and educational activities.
