Tour Scotland travel video, with Scottish music, on ancestry visit to Marys Room located in Edinburgh Castle. The Royal Palace comprises the former royal apartments, which were the residence of the later Stewart monarchs. It was begun in the mid 15th century, during the reign of King James IV,. The building was extensively remodelled for the visit of King James VI to the castle in 1617, when state apartments for the King and Queen were built. On the ground floor is Marys Room also known as the Birth Chamber where King James VI was born to Mary, Queen of Scots, in June 1566. The commemorative painted ceiling and other decorations were added in 1617. James VI was King of Scotland as James VI from 24 July 1567 and King of England and Ireland as James I from the union of the Scottish and English crowns on 24 March 1603 until his death in 1625. The kingdoms of Scotland and England were individual sovereign states, with their own parliaments, judiciaries, and laws, though both were ruled by James in personal union.
