Portrait of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, at the age of 12 or 13 by François Clouet
Today’s post is to share with you some information about a new exhibition, Mary Queen of Scots, opening at the National Museum of Scotland in June 2013.
The exhibition will “provide an opportunity to re-visit much that has been written and speculated about Mary, one of the most charismatic monarchs of all time. Taking a fresh, innovative approach, using jewels, textiles, furniture, documents and portraits, Mary’s dramatic story and this fascinating period in Scottish history will be explored in detail.”
Sounds fabulous! The exhibition will run from 28 June – November 2013. If I am in the UK during this period I will certainly make a point of visiting the National Museum of Scotland.

Oooh!! thanks for that info Natalie, guess where I will be going next year? Edinburgh is only just over 2hrs from where I live, went this year to see the play Anne Boleyn by Howard Brenton…looks like I will be going back. Hopefully will get to go in Holyrood Palace this time it was shut when I went in the summer cos Charles and Camilla were there, was sooo disappointed. Never mind, another chance now…
