Mary Queen of Scots

A day tour exploring the historic landscape of central Scotland where Mary Stuart lived out a tumultuous. controversial reign as Queen of Scots. Was her life a study in failure? Or was she the unluckiest ruler in British history?

  • Linlithgow Palace - Mary’s Birthplace .
  • Stirling Castle - Site of her coronation as a baby and where she spent her early years.
  • Falkland Palace - A favourite country retreat to hunt, practice archery and play tennis.
