Stewart Monarchs - Years 1545 to 1680

A graduate of Glasgow School of Art, Ishbel has been living and working at Balnakeil Craft Village for nineteen years.

The Earl's Palace was built in 1574. Robert Stewart was the Earl of Orkney but did not manage to finish the Palace. His son Patrick completed it. There were three towers and a large open courtyard in the centre. There are lots of interpretive signs and information about the Palace throughout the ruin. Entrance is free.
