The Experience
En ma fin git mon commencement: In my end is my beginning .
How true was this prophecy from Mary herself. There has been an endless fascination with Mary, Queen of Scots ever since her dramatic execution in 1567. With numerous books and films, including the new version last year, what makes her story so compelling? You will find out in this Virtual tour.
Focussing on the short 6yrs she was back in Scotland, you will find out about the dramatic turns and twists and the events leading up to her eventual imprisonment in England.
This tour gives an introduction to the life of Mary, Queen of Scots. There is simply not enough time to go into great detail, but by visiting a number of key attractions, we will build up the picture of the events from her arrival back in Scotland to her eventual downfall and flight to England.
Mary’s Meanders is named after our most famous resident, here in Linlithgow, and we are delighted to share our passion with you – Live via Zoom.
The tour is £8 per household as we want this experience to be affordable but if you enjoy it, and you are in a position to do so ( we know how tight times are for many just now), gratuities would be very welcome, but by no means required. https://www.paypal.me/marysmeanders
