Excerpt from Official Guide to the Abbey-Church, Palace, and Environs of Holyroodhouse: With a Historical Sketch The main entrance to the Palace of Holyroodhouse is in the west front, access to which from the Canongate lay through a vaulted Gothic gatehouse giving into a forecourt, now thrown open. This picturesque feature, the "foir-werk" of James IV., of which traces may be seen in the shape of the wall-ribs of the vaulted passage remaining in the wall of the building containing the Abbey Court and Royal Mews, was removed in 1753. Except the north-west tower, these arched wall-ribs, together with the lower part of the round turret at the north-east angle of the Abbey Court House, and some of the ground-floor chambers, including the vaulted prison-cell, are all that now remain of the Palace erected in 1501-3 for the reception of Margaret Tudor as the bride of James IV. Not without remonstrance and popular indignation was the destruction of this "foir-werk" wrought. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
