The Palace of Holyroodhouse
The history of the Palace of Holyroodhouse reaches back almost nine centuries.
According to legend, David I founded the Palace as an Augustinian monastery in 1128. It is said that the king had a vision in which a cross, or ‘rood’, belonging to his mother St Margaret appeared between the antlers of an attacking stag. Hence the Abbey’s symbol – a stag’s head, with its horns framing a cross.for more click here
