	Kinross House & Gardens - Mary Queen of Scots

		Yet it is perhaps best remembered as Mary Queen of Scot's prison from June 1567 to May 1568, and the place where she was forced to abdicate in favour of her infant son James VI on 24 July 1567.
		In later years the castle was visited by a succession of Scottish Kings including Robert the Bruce; David II (whose troops successfully defended the castle against English attack in 1334); Robert II (first as a prisoner then as King); and of course later, often, by Mary Queen of Scots, first as Queen then as prisoner.
		Lochleven Castle was passed by Robert II to the Douglas family in 1390, and after the focus of the Douglases' interests shifted to

	Traditions and Stories of Scottish Castles - Lochleven & Burleigh
		The loyal Captain of Lochleven, Alan Vipont by name, sent out at midnight a few of his faithful retainers, who approached the barricade, erected by Strivelin, in a small boat, and, demolishing a portion of the embankment, they caused the pent-up waters of the loch to overwhelm and destroy many of the enemy.
		Erected as a residence for the Duke of York (afterwards James II.), it presents all the characteristics of the mansion of the period, though its chambers were long deserted, and the exquisite prospect which it commands of hill and lake was unenjoyed for years by the lawful possessors.
		Close by the kirkyard is pointed out the spot where Mary landed when she made her escape from Lochleven Castle, though the reclamations recently made by drainage of the loch render it difficult to indicate the place with any degree of accuracy.

	Chapter 5 Page 5
		With these words, Lady Lochleven, with the same stiffness and the same dignity with which she had come, withdrew, followed by her four servants and her steward.
		As Lady Lochleven had foreseen, the queen, yielding to the entreaties of Mary Seyton, came out of her room at last, towards eight o'clock in the evening, sat down to table, and, served by the only maid of honour left her, ate a little; then, getting up, she went to the window.
		Perhaps, however, things would have gone on smoothly if Lady Lochleven, instead of remaining standing by the sideboard, had withdrawn after having tasted the various dishes of the courses; but this insisting on remaining throughout the meal, which was at bottom a mark of respect, seemed to the queen unbearable tyranny.

		She stood with her back to the casement, which, like that of the Queen's apartments, commanded a view of Kinross, with the church, which stands at some distance from the town, and nearer to the lake, then connected with the town by straggling cottages.
		Just when, having finished her ceremony as taster of the Queen's table, she was about to take up the keys, the page [Roland Graeme], who stood beside her, and had handed her the dishes in succession, looked sideways to the churchyard, and ex-claimed he saw corpse-candles in the church-yard.
		The Lady of Lochleven was not without a touch, though a slight one, of the superstitions of the time; the fate of her sons made her alive to omens, and a corpse-light, as it was called, in the family burial-place boded death.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Knox
		In December he received from the General Assembly leave of absence from Scotland for six months, so that he was not a witness of the events of the first half of 1567, which included the murder of Darnley, the abduction of Mary by Bothwell, and her marriage to him on 15 May, 1567.
		The queen was already, after the disaster of Carberry Hill, a prisoner at Lochleven, when Knox re-appeared at Edinburgh and at once resumed, in spite of the disuasion of Throgmorton, the English Ambassador, his pulpit invectives against the sovereign, and his denunciations of the national alliance with France.
		Her escape from Lochleven apeared to justify his worst fears, but a fortnight later she was hopelessly defeated at Langside, and was a fugitive to England.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Lockleven
		Lochleven, a lake in Kinross-shire, Scotland, an island of which, known as St. Serf's Island (eighty acres in extent), was the seat of a religious community for seven hundred years.
		Brude, King of the Picts, is recorded to have given the island to the Culdees about 840, perhaps in the lifetime of St. Serf (or Servanus) himself, and the grant was confirmed by subsequent kings and by several bishops of St. Andrews.
		From the middle of the twelfth century until the Reformation, Lochleven continued to be a cell dependent on St. Andrews.

	Notes on a Deed by Lady Margaret Douglas
		It was signed by her at Lochleven in her maiden name of "Margaret Erskyn," and as Lady of Lochleven.
		Burton remarks on the absence of any information as to the condition or style of Lochleven Castle as a residence, there being no mention anywhere of the matter, and it is impossible in his opinion to form any correct idea on the subject from the existing ruins.
		Leaving out of view, therefore, the fact that the Queen’s stay there was compulsory and under restraint, the place cannot be held to have been selected from any wish to demean the Queen, or to put her in a residence which was in itself degrading.

		While at Lochleven, Mary, Queen of Scots, miscarried Bothwell's child and, while weak through loss of blood, was threatened by Lord Lindsay who forced her to sign an act of abdication.
		However, falling under the spell of Mary, George Douglas reminded Moray, when the latter visited Lochleven and the queen, of how he had been used to call himself the queen's 'creature'.
		However, Mary warned Moray that if she, a born queen, was rebelled against by her people, how much more would the people rebel against him, a bastard by birth and origin.

		No doubt the royal prisoner was already expected at Lochleven Castle, for, on reaching the lake side, Lord Lindsay's equerry unfurled his banner, which till then had remained in its case, and waved it from right to left, while his master blew a little hunting bugle which he wore hanging from his neck.
		Lady Lochleven had had a momentary hope, so great was the king's love for her, of becoming his wife, which upon the whole was possible, the family of Mar, from which she was descended, being the equal of the most ancient and the noblest families in Scotland.
		Mary's fall, which must necessarily raise Murray, was thus a source of joy for him, and the Confederate lords could not have chosen better than in confiding the safe-keeping of their prisoner to the instinctive spite of Lady Douglas and to the intelligent hatred of her son.
