Brief though her time in Scotland was, her experience profoundly influenced who she was and what happened to her.\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. She also examines the part Scotland, with 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\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLinlithgow Palace\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eStirling Castle\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDumbarton Castle\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLeith\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHolyrood Palace\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCrichton Castle\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDarnaway Castle\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHuntly Castle\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSpynie Palace\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFalkland Palace\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSeton Palace\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSt Andrews and Fife\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDunbar Castle\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEdinburgh Castle\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTraquair House\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHermitage Castle\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eJedburgh, Mary Queen of Scots House\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCraigmillar Castle\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEdinburgh and Kirk o' Field\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBorthwick Castle\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCarberry Hill\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLochleven Castle\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLangside\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDundrennan Abbey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A nicely measured book, intelligent, engaging and well-balanced' — Allan Massie, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Scotsman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849281425644,"sku":"9781780278254","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23568953482821.jpg?v=1759032655","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/homecoming-by-rosemary-goring-9781780278254","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
