Mary Queen of Scots — Scotland's Most Tragic and Romantic Historical Figure

蘇格蘭女王瑪麗（Mary Queen of Scots）is one of the most compelling and emotionally resonant historical figures in Scottish history — and for travellers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China who are drawn to stories of royalty, tragedy and romantic historical drama, her life represents an extraordinary narrative that is inseparable from the places that shaped it. Mary was born at 林利思戈宮（Linlithgow Palace）— a ruined but extraordinarily atmospheric royal palace just west of 愛丁堡（Edinburgh）— in 1542, became Queen of Scotland at just six days old, was educated in France and returned to Scotland at the age of 18 to begin one of the most turbulent and ultimately tragic reigns in Scottish history. The key locations of Mary's story in and around 愛丁堡 include 荷里路德宮（Holyrood Palace）— where she held court and where her Italian secretary David Rizzio was murdered in 1566 — and 愛丁堡城堡（Edinburgh Castle）— where her son, the future King James VI of Scotland, was born. 斯特靈城堡（Stirling Castle）was Mary's childhood home where she was crowned Queen of Scotland. For travellers from Hong Kong and Taiwan who have seen the 2018 film 'Mary Queen of Scots', visiting these locations creates a deeply moving and historically rich experience.
