[MR] BBC: Mary Queen of Scots Psalter and Crucifix

[Garth G. Groff]

Noble friends,

The BBC is offering a brief piece on the prayer book and cruxifix Mary, 
Queen of Scots' carried to her execution:

The prayer book is on show in Scotland for the first time since Mary's 
state-sponsored demise in 1587. It is normally preserved in England. The 
cruxifix is owned by the Abbotsford Trust in Scotland, which manages 
Abbotsford House, the home of Sir Walter Scott.

There are links following the story which will take you to several other 
brief pieces about Mary, Queen of Scots, including one from 2009 on a 
rare showing of the last letter the tragic monarch wrote shortly before 
her topping.

Kind regards,


Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
