MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS |
A BEDROOM FIT FOR A QUEEN This is probably the most famous bedchamber in the castle, where Mary herself stayed several times including when in residence with her husband the Earl of Bothwell. |
THE ROOM Midway up the south stairs, this bedchamber has a private door onto the State Room and Mary’s chapel. The bedchamber is exquisitely decorated with golden opulence and a royal canopy handcarved oak bed modelled on Stuart era royal bed design and Mary’s bed displayed in Holyrood palace. The room has two seating alcoves with splendid views and and a large medieval fireplace. Inside the castle wall is a luxurious shower room. |
