About the Item

HolyRood Palace, Scotland by Peter St. Clair Merriman, Scottish 20th century signed and titled oil painting on canvas, unframed canvas: 16 x 20 inches condition: very good provenance: private UK collection Holyrood Palace, also known as the Palace of Holyroodhouse, is a royal palace located in Edinburgh, Scotland. It stands at the eastern end of the Royal Mile, adjacent to the famous Holyrood Park and the iconic Arthur's Seat. Holyrood Palace has a long history and is closely associated with the Scottish monarchy. It serves as the official residence of the British monarch in Scotland and is used for various ceremonial and official functions. The palace is open to the public, allowing visitors to explore its historic rooms, exhibitions, and beautiful gardens. The origins of Holyrood Palace can be traced back to the 12th century when King David I established an Augustinian abbey on the site. Over the centuries, the abbey was expanded and transformed into a royal residence. However, the palace we see today primarily dates back to the 17th century when it was rebuilt after a fire. One of the notable features of Holyrood Palace is the ruined Holyrood Abbey, which stands adjacent to the palace. The abbey's remains offer a glimpse into its former grandeur and are an important part of the overall complex. Holyrood Palace has witnessed significant historical events and has hosted numerous important figures throughout the years. It has been the site of royal weddings, state ceremonies, and the official reception of dignitaries. Additionally, it has served as a residence for several monarchs, including Mary, Queen of Scots, who spent a significant portion of her reign there. Visitors to Holyrood Palace can explore the State Apartments, which are beautifully adorned with paintings, tapestries, and historical artifacts. The palace's highlights include the magnificent Throne Room, the Great Gallery displaying portraits of Scottish monarchs, and the impressive Royal Dining Room. The palace's gardens, known as the Palace of Holyroodhouse Gardens, provide a tranquil oasis in the heart of the city. Visitors can enjoy strolling through the grounds, which feature manicured lawns, flowerbeds, and views of Arthur's Seat. In summary, Holyrood Palace is a historic and culturally significant royal palace located in Edinburgh, Scotland. With its rich history, stunning architecture, and connection to the Scottish monarchy, it remains an important landmark and a popular tourist attraction in the city.

Balmoral - Signed Lithograph, Royal Art, Royal Homes, Balmoral Castle, British
By Charles (Prince of Wales)
Located in Knowle Lane, Cranleigh
Balmoral by His Majesty King Charles III (formerly known as HRH Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales) - Hand Signed Limited Edition Lithograph. Belgravia Gallery has been honoured to be associated with the artworks of HRH The Prince of Wales for over 25 years. Anna Hunter, gallery owner, wrote a handwritten letter to the Prince asking him if he would consider making signed lithographs from his beautiful watercolours which could be sold in aid of his charities. The gallery subsequently worked with the Prince for over 10 years publishing some 18 different editions and raising over £4million for the Prince’s Charitable Foundation. Lithographs were made from the Prince’s original watercolours under the guidance of Stanley Jones – a celebrated printmaker who had previously worked with Henry Moore for 30 years, and with Elizabeth Frink, David Hockney and others. Each one is hand-signed. “…One thing I have discovered in the course of my painting efforts is that Balmoral Castle...
