| Loch Leven Castle |
She was branded a murderer and an adulteress, following her marriage to the man who was accused of killing her husband. This statement could be part of a synopsis for a future episode of one of my favourite soaps, but this was just another chaotic chapter in the life of Mary Queen of Scots.

| Loch Leven, Kinross |
On May, 2nd 1568, Mary escaped from Loch Leven Castle, where she had been imprisoned since, June 1567, after being accused of conspiring to kill her second husband, Lord Darnley. When I visited there on Wednesday, it was cold and damp, but if the North wind was as cutting on the night she made her escape across the Loch, in a small boat with the help of George Douglas and Lord Seton.
Brrrr.
