This is the front of Edinburgh Castle. The
person on the far right is our tour guide
Nathan.
Nathan showed the class around the
Castle and taught us about the life and
time of Mary Queen of Scots.
If you had been looking at this view from the Castle in 1561 when
Mary returned to Scotland, you would
have seen her ship sail into Leith Docks.
This is the Court Yard that had the Royal
Palace at the time of Mary Queen of Scots.
Nathan told us about the time Mary spent
here.
BIRTH OF MARY’S SON IN 1566.
This plaque was put here in 1566 when Mary had her son James. The plaque reads 1566 with the initials M A H in the middle. This stands for Mary And Henry, as Henry was Lord Darnley’s first name.
In the Great Hall we were surprised to
meet Mary Queen of Scots.
She made the girls courtesy and the boys
bow.
Mary Queen of Scots then lead us to
another part of the Castle.
We got dressed in the clothes that the
people from the time of Mary Queen of Scots would have
worn to Royal Court.
DRESSED FOR ROYAL COURT.
Girls in costume. Boys in costume
THE ROYAL DANCEMary Queen of Scots then taught us a dance for the Royal Court
to celebrate the birth of her son.
AFTER WE COMPLETED THE DANCE WE HAD A GROUP PHOTO TAKEN
WITH MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS.
HOLYROOD PALACE
We then walked down the Royal Mile to
Holyrood Palace. We saw Mary Queen of Scots bedroom and
the room where David Ricco was murdered.
We had a fantastic day learning about Mary
Queen of Scots.
