Who was Mary, Queen of Scots and who were the powerful people pulling the strings around her?
Join local historian and interpreter Lars Cook of the University of the Highlands and Islands Perth for an informal drop-in exploration of the dramatic family ties, rivalries and political alliances which shaped Mary’s life and reign. Using a large-scale genealogy timeline, Lars will share short explanations and insights into 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 knowledge of royal power struggles, Lars brings Scotland’s tangled dynastic past to life through vivid storytelling and a touch of theatrical flair. Whether you’re a student, a history enthusiast or simply curious about Mary’s place in the royal family tree, this is an opportunity to engage with the material at your own pace.
This is a free, informal drop-in session rather than a seated lecture. Visitors are welcome to come and go during the advertised time.
Please note there are two drop-in sessions taking place on this day.
Limited seating may be available. Visitors should expect to stand for parts of the session.
If you have access requirements or need support during the session, please speak to a member of the team or contact us in advance where possible.
