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.
