Holyrood Palace - the Queens summer house. I know, somebody let the Queen know she has a stalker. But i am now thinking, home palace, summer palace, her boat - maybe i will have to complete the set and go to Windsor castle at some stage too.

The trip started with a delayed departure which meant that i had to practically run through Victoria station to get on the underground and get over to Kings Cross.
