Generally, it is quite safe for most places to buy tickets at the door unless an insistence to buy online is stated. There is no discount by buying online for the Linlithgow palace. The greatest risk you run, however, is that if you go on a day that is very popular, door sales will not be available. Even when they are available on popular days, queues can become quite lengthy.
