In the Halls of History: A Journey Through The Lord Leycester

Part Two: STIRLING CASTLE This month sees the launch of a special celebration of the life of Mary, Queen of Scots, here, on The Tudor Travel Show. Throughout September, I will be publishing one episode a week, as I follow 'In the Footsteps' of this legendary Scottish queen, visiting some of the most historic locations associated with her time in Scotland. Along the way, I will be meeting up with local guides, (many are members of the Marie Stuart Society), who will share their knowledge and passion for Mary and her story.   In this week's episode, I travel to Stirling Castle and meet up with Elisabeth Manson, President of the Marie Stuart Society. Together we explore the royal chapel, great hall and royal apartments of the castle. I talk to Liz about Stirling Castle as Mary's childhood home, as well as hearing about the blossoming romance between Mary and Henry, Lord Darnley, which unfolded at the castle in the spring of 1565.

Here [https://thetudortravelguide.com/st-davids-cathedral-st-davids-pembrokeshire/] is a show notes page accompanying this on-location podcast to St David's Cathedral. Home to St David's historic cathedral, the final resting place of its eponymous saint, the patron saint of Wales, it has been a place of pilgrimage and worship for over a millennium. A more picturesque spot for such a venerable building is hard to imagine, nestled as it is in a verdant valley adjacent to the now-ruined Bishop's Palace.
