Linlithgow, The Cross Well 1897

More about this scene
All is peace and quiet in this scene, but things were livelier on 23 January 1570. Lord James Stewart, Earl of Moray and Regent, was shot by James Hamilton as he rode through the town. The assassin fired his musket from an upper window in a house belonging to the archbishop of St Andrews, who also appears to have supplied the getaway horse. The archbishop was executed at Stirling in 1571 without the formality of a trial.
