We have some...
I should explain, Queen Margaret's Bower, the highest part of Linlithgow Palace, is where she waited for news of her husband, King James, who was off fighting the Battle of Flodden. It was not to end well. For some reason I like the small room, though how anyone with all those skirts and underskirts managed those stairs...
Photo taken 500 years to the day (near enough) of the battle, 9th September 1513. If that doesn't send a shiver down the spine, sitting exactly where Queen Margaret waited, watching over the palace rooftops towards the far off fields.
