I assume the Palace is closed to the public at the moment.
Yes, the Palace of Holyroodhouse is temporarily closed for now, owing to government guidance on COVID-19 restrictions.

A Georgian/Adamesque interior very different in style from the rest of the palace.
And Bonnie Prince Charlie portait on the wall!
What a shame that Holyrood Abbey was never restored and left a ruin after the 1768 roof collapse.
The ruins of the Augustinian Holyrood Abbey.

The Quadrangle, designed by Sir William Bruce, reflects the Palace's monastic origins with its cloister-like layout.

Bird's-eye view of the Palace of Holyroodhouse and Holyrood Abbey, including the western towers.

Fair. Though I have to say, the ruins of the abbey add so much charm and character to Holyrood, which is not the most architecturally interesting building.
