Mary, Queen of Scots Home Page
Mary was a very busy lady during her time as Queen of Scotland, and she travelled extensively through her realm. The tables below retrace her steps. For pictures of and more information on some of the listed places, click on the links (where a site has appeared earlier on the page, the link is not repeated). Click on the thumbnails to open a map in a separate window. Some of these sites no longer exist or are no longer open to the public. Where applicable, I have included a link to other sites.
