About this Event
Mary, Queen of Scots holds a special place in Scotland’s national consciousness, and there have been many exhibitions that have examined her life and times. But what do those exhibitions hide about the experiences of ordinary folk in Scotland during her reign? How do you bring stories from the archive to life in the museum, so that visitors can hear their voices?
In this lecture, Eilidh reflects on the process of developing the exhibition War, Destruction and Reform: The Early Years of Mary, Queen of Scots at the Wardlaw Museum with colleagues at the University of St Andrews.
