St Michael's Parish Church
Church of Scotland
One of the finest examples of a large medieval burgh church. Consecrated in 1242 on the site of an earlier church, most of the present building dates from the 15th century with some 19th and 20th century restoration.
Situated beside Linlithgow Palace, its history is intertwined with that of the Royal House of Stewart. The modern aluminium crown of thorns (1964) symbolises the Churchs continuing witness to Christs Kingship. Window commemorating 750th anniversary of the church (1992) by Crear McCartney. Carving of Queen by John Donaldson added to Queens pulpit in 2003. New organ installed by Matthew Copley in 2001 from Queen Ethelburgas College, Harrogate.
