Part of Holyrood Palace and Abbey, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Part of Holyrood Palace and Abbey, 1850. Exterior of the abbey and Palace of Holyrood at Edinburgh in Scotland. Holyrood Abbey was founded in 1128, by David II. In 1332, it was completely plundered by the army of Edward III. and in 1335 burnt by that of Richard II. But the greatest destruction took place in 1544, during the naval irruption of the Earl of Hertford, when the choir and transept of the Church were entirely demolished, and nothing was left standing but the nave, the portion which now exists as a ruin.... In the brief reign of James VII. mass was celebrated in it, to the no small indignation of the people; and immediately on the abdication of that Monarch, the populace again demolished this remnant of the hated religion, by reducing the chapel to ruins. [It] has been allowed to remain in a ruinous state to the present time'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a portion of Holyrood Palace and Abbey in Edinburgh, Scotland, as it appeared in the mid-19th century. The image captures the exterior of the abbey and the Palace of Holyrood, two historic structures intertwined by time and history. Holyrood Abbey, founded in 1128 by King David I, has a rich and complex past. It was plundered and burned multiple times throughout the centuries, most notably in 1332 by the army of Edward III and in 1335 by that of Richard II. The greatest destruction, however, occurred in 1544 during the naval invasion of the Earl of Hertford, which left the choir and transept in ruins. The brief reign of James VII in the late 17th century saw mass celebrated in the chapel, causing great indignation among the people. Upon his abdication, the chapel was once again demolished by the populace. The ruins have remained largely untouched since then. This print was published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, providing a glimpse into the past and showcasing the architectural beauty and historical significance of these structures. The image captures the gothic and medieval charm of Holyrood Abbey and the Palace of Holyrood, which continue to be a popular tourist attraction and an important part of Scotland's rich heritage.
