Hello and welcome to Talking Tudors, a podcast about the ever fascinating Tudor dynasty.

My name is Natalie Gruniger and I'll be your host and guide on this journey through 16th century England.

Are you ready to step through the veil of time into the dazzling and dangerous world of the Tudor Court?

Without further ado, it's time to talk Tudors.

This episode of Talking Tudors is brought to you by our friends at Simply Tudor Tours. Are you

captivated by the story of Mary Queen of Scots? have you dreamt of Scotland of wild landscapes and powerful

stories of following in the footsteps of one of history's most compelling women?

Then this may be the moment you've been waiting for.

Between the 11th and the 17th of May, 2026, simply tutor tours invites you to join them on an immersive journey through Scotland,

tracing the life of Mary Queen of Scots, from the cradle of her kingship to the point where her

world began to close in around her. This carefully curated experience follows Mary's story

chronologically and geographically, allowing her life to unfold as you move

through the very places that shaped her fate, from her birth at Lin Lithgow to the grandeur and

refuge of Stirling Castle, from the pulse of Edinburgh to the haunting waters of Locke-Leven.

This is Scotland seen through Mary's eyes, beautiful, brutal and unforgettable.

You'll be guided through the narrative by expert historians with exclusive talks, private insights,

and those unscripted moments that simply can't be replicated in books or documentaries.

So if Scotland has been calling you for years, if Mary's story has never

quite let you go, don't miss out. To learn more and to book your place, visit simplytudor tours.com.
