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.
