Visit romantic Traquair where Alexander I signed a charter over 800 years ago and where the 'modern wings' were completed in 160. Once a pleasure ground of Scottish kings in times of peace, then a refuge for Catholic priests in times of terror, the Stuarts of Traquair supported Mary Queen of Scots and the Jacobite cause without counting the cost. Imprisoned, fined and isolated for their beliefs, their home, untouched by time, reflects the tranquillity of their family life
