So, I went to the National Museum of Scotland's exhibition on Mary, Queen of Scots, which was very interesting and made me a bit more sympathetic to her on the grounds of her intelligence (though, good god, did she have bad taste in me). I was a little surprised to find they were selling replicas axes for the kiddies in the exhibition shop. Perhaps a slight failure in taste right there. Unless you're all gung-ho about killing of Papist enemies of Queen Elizabeth I, that is. Then you'd not just be selling axes but replicas of the Bothwell letters.
