Sunday 24 November, Day 4 of « Previously… Scotland’s History Festival 2019« , is a Marie de Guise Special and will take place in the Institut français d’Écosse, Edinburgh.

The Marie de Guise Day starts at 1.00pm with Celebrating Women in Scotland’s History, featuring Valerie Wright and Fiona Skillen. Not just queens and ladies of the court, ordinary women also made a difference in Scottish History.
