Mary, Queen of Scots & Darnley – A Love That Led to Ruin
#OTD in 1565, Mary met Lord Darnley—and fell in love. But this marriage would be her greatest mistake, leading to betrayal, murder, and the loss of her throne.
Having lost the battle, Queen Mary gave up her attempt to reach Dumbarton Castle and its offer of an escape by sea, and fled south to England instead, a choice which would eventually lead to her death.
Dumbarton Rock, a 330 million year old volcanic plug on the northern edge of the Clyde to the west of Glasgow that is home to Dumbarton Castle. A military stronghold for many centuries, it was to here that Mary, Queen of Scots was heading after her escape from Lochleven Castle in 1568 when she was intercepted by the Earl of Moray and was forced to fight the Battle of Langside (now on the Southside of Glasgow).
Cont./
Queen Mary's troops were defeated, and she fled south to England, where she was imprisoned and eventually executed by her cousin, Queen Elizabeth in 1587. The monument was erected to mark the 300th anniversary of her death.
One of the four rather wonderfully sculpted eagles on the Battlefield Monument in Glasgow. Designed by Alexander Skirving with sculptures by James Young, it was erected in 1887, and it commemorates the Battle of Langside between the army of Mary, Queen of Scots and that of the Earl of Moray, which took place nearby in 1568.

Power Play: Stewart Laing re-imagines Thea Musgrave's Mary, Queen of Scots in terms of contemporary sectarianism for English National Opera.
Tremendous singing across the board, but frankly, I didn't like the piece itself as much as I wanted to.
My review for the Guardian.

With just one night left to live, how did she react? What did she do in her final hours?

This pattern, titled Tapestries of Secrecy, draws inspiration from Mary, Queen of Scots, and the hidden messages she skillfully wove into her needlework during her imprisonment. #Tudors #MaryQueenofScots #MaryStuart #16thcentury #England #Renaissance

@HeatherMJ has ordered me* to have a more silly timeline. So here is a new series of really poor jokes that I came up with the other day. Blame Heather.**
* No she has not. I'm being deliberately obtuse claiming that.
** Really don't. Blame me.
