Mary, Queen of Scots gave birth to her son, James, in the castle’s “birthing room”–or did she? It is said that during excavations of the castle “the skeleton of a newborn child wrapped in a rich silken cloth [was found] built into the wall of the banqueting hall next to the castle courtyard. The silk cloth was identified as belonging to Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots.” Some speculate that Mary’s son died at birth, the tragedy was hushed up, and the baby of another lady at court was substituted.
