Excerpt from Where Ghosts Walk: The Haunts of Familiar Characters in History and Literature
HE supping-room of Mary Stuart, in Holyrood Palace, is the smallest of the royal suite. It is a mere closet, and now bare and depressing to a degree utterly incompatible with our ideas of tolerable comfort, until we remind our selves that the stone walls were once masked by richly wrought hangings and the cold floors softened by carpets brought, or imported, by Mary into rug ged Scotland from her beloved France.
