Official Tour -

< previous ... next> It is said that Mary Queen of Scots Was imprisoned in this house I think if you look up there at that casement You can see where her face would have probably looked out She stayed in many of the famous country homes Up and down the country I can’t think that her life was all that bad What with all the banqueting and jousting Did they have jousting at that point? Public enemy number one was Mary Not a particularly lucky lady, but nice I should think As we wander back around to the garden area We can see the stables where her horses probably waited We think that she was moved from house to house For her own personal safekeeping In my own humble opinion I think it was more a case of Look who’s coming round to dinner Did she actually eat with the other noble ladies? As you all know of course she was eventually beheaded A cry would have surely rung up from her native land Of course Scotland was her first love and I’m sure always remained so Where she probably wanted to be laid to rest If you would like to gather near the car park Just there - yes, that’s it - we’ve nearly finished Can I say how much I’ve enjoyed this tour today And ask you to please stop in at the gift shop before you go to your coach No, I don’t think they would have had a gift shop in Mary’s day, no. < previous ... next>
