Tour Scotland 4K very short travel video clip, with Scottish music, of the Throne room in Holyrood Palace on ancestry, genealogy family history visit and trip to Edinburgh, Britain, United Kingdom. The Throne Room was originally the King's Guard Chamber, but was used as the King's Drawing Room from the visit of King George IV in 1822, when a throne and canopy of state were erected at the west end of the room for the levees hosted there. Queen Victoria used the room as a dining room, before it became the Throne Room in 1871. The 1822 throne was replaced in 1911 by a pair of throne chairs made for King George V and Queen Mary, which sit upon a dais. In 1929 a new ceiling was installed that matched the others in the King's Apartments, and oak-panelled walls which incorporate paintings were installed. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome
