Battle of Langside Walking Tour
The Battle of Langside can be viewed either as a family squabble which got out of hand or as one of the most significant events in the history of Scotland. Having been deposed and imprisoned by her half-brother and his supporters, Mary Queen of Scots escaped and was making her way to safety at Dumbarton Castle. Mary and her retinue were intercepted at Langside on the 13th of May 1568. Come and join the tour and find out what happened next.
