Brief though her time in Scotland was, her experience profoundly influenced who she was and what happened to her.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHomecoming\u003c\/i\u003e, Rosemary Goring tells the story of Mary's Scottish years through the often dramatic and atmospheric locations and settings where the events that shaped her life took place, and also examines the part Scotland, and its tumultuous court and culture, played in her downfall. Whether or not Mary Stuart emerges blameless or guilty, in this evocative retelling she can be seen for who she really was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLocations included:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLinlithgow Palace \u003cem\u003e Stirling Castle \u003c\/em\u003e Dumbarton Castle \u003cem\u003e Leith \u003c\/em\u003e Holyrood Palace \u003cem\u003e Crichton Castle \u003c\/em\u003e Darnaway Castle \u003cem\u003e Huntly Castle \u003c\/em\u003e Spynie Palace \u003cem\u003e Falkland Palace \u003c\/em\u003e Seton Palace \u003cem\u003e St Andrews and Fife \u003c\/em\u003e Dunbar Castle \u003cem\u003e Edinburgh Castle \u003c\/em\u003e Traquair House \u003cem\u003e Hermitage Castle \u003c\/em\u003e Jedburgh, Mary Queen of Scots House \u003cem\u003e Craigmillar Castle \u003c\/em\u003e Edinburgh and Kirk o' Field \u003cem\u003e Borthwick Castle \u003c\/em\u003e Carberry Hill \u003cem\u003e Lochleven Castle \u003c\/em\u003e Langside * Dundrennan Abbey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849281327340,"sku":"9781780277233","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23558743482821.jpg?v=1759032626","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/homecoming-by-rosemary-goring-9781780277233","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
