Palace of Holyroodhouse

#hellohalloween Blood in the Chamber There’s a stillness in the Queen’s apartments that feels alive. The story of Rizzio’s murder is told quietly by guides, but standing there — where it happened — is unforgettable. The spot feels charged, as though the walls remember. During the Halloween tour, a faint draft swept through, moving the candle flames though no doors were open. Someone gasped. It was probably just the wind, but in that moment, every guest fell silent. Holyrood holds its ghosts with grace — sorrow, not terror.
