Who was Mary, Queen of Scots and who were the powerful people pulling the strings around her?
Who was Mary, Queen of Scots and who were the powerful people pulling the strings around her? Join local history lecturer Lars Cook of UHI Perth for a fascinating session exploring the dramatic family ties, rivalries and political alliances that shaped Mary’s life and reign.
Using a large-scale genealogy timeline, Lars will guide attendees through the people at the heart of Mary’s story, from monarchs and lovers to enemies and allies. With years of experience as a costumed interpreter and a deep historical knowledge of royal power struggles, Lars brings Scotland’s tangled dynastic past to life with vivid storytelling and a touch of theatrical flair.
Whether you’re a student, a history enthusiast or just curious about Mary’s place in the royal family tree, this is a rare chance to trace the connections, claims and conflicts that defined her world.
This is a free drop-in session recommend for adults.
Sessions run at the following times
