"Freedom!"

Saturday: Linlithgow (Palace), Stirling (Wallace Monument and Stirling Castle [no pictures]).
At the Linlithgow Palace there was a nice old cemetary. While there, Jayne-Leigh (see below), our resident forensic osteoarchaeologist, was kind enough to identify all the bits of human bone that had worked their way above ground over the last 300 years or so.

A plaque at Linlithgow Palace: Birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots (obviously)

No joke.)
