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.

THE ROYAL DANCE

Mary 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.
