- Title
A Cult of Mary Queen of Scots?

- Abstract
The traditional preoccupation of dating Scottish country houses as being pre- or post-reformation, and then - uniquely in Europe - by plan form (L-shaped etc.), has obscured the three phases of significant architectural change, reversal and then re-emergence in Scottish architecture during the course of the sixteenth century. This paper suggests that the inspiration for the nineteenth century Baronialists can be identified as a period c. 1600, when, after two or three decades' rejection, the French-inspired architecture of the 'Marian' court re-emerged in the reign of her son. It remained influential right to the end of the seventeenth century. Did it represent a rehabilitation - a cult - of Mary Queen of Scots?
