Craigmillar Castle: Where Scotland's Nobles Agreed to Get Rid of the Queen's Husband

In November 1566 Mary, Queen of Scots came to Craigmillar Castle to recover, and the men around her drew up a bond to remove her husband. Ten weeks later his house blew up. The same day takes in a well that seeps oil, a 4,000-year-old standing stone in a cul-de-sac, Rosslyn Chapel without the Da Vinci Code mythology, a doocot built for 544 pairs of pigeons, and a churchyard guarded against bodysnatchers by sheer weight.
