La dernière ‘demeure’ de Marie Stuart en Ecosse avant son emprisonnement en Angleterre par Elizabeth 1

Today (17 June) in 1567, Mary was imprisoned at the island fortress of Loch Leven Castle (pictured), following the battle of Carberry Hill; Mary's imprisonment at Loch Leven was one of the most traumatic periods of her life – during her time at the castle she miscarried a baby (or possibly twins) and was forced to abdicate in favour of her son James. :-(

And in 1583, Mary visited Worksop Manor for the first time. :-(
