Thank you Richard...not sure when publication occurs...Not a cheap exercise !!will let you know when...:-)

Thankyou, Diana.

For those who have little or no interest in Mary Queen of Scots, yet are addicted to Heavy Metal! here is a song written about Mary.  If you do not understand the words, these are they, by "Grave Digger".  If the subject doesn't get you the name will !!

 Harry


My fingers touch the solid stones
Strong and cold, they keep me from home
Imprisoned like a wingless dove
Far away from the land I love

Lonely days count lonely years
I have cried a thousand tears
All that I tried to gain
Is lost the effort was in vain

At Carberry Hill I lost my crown
My husband fled my luck went down
In England's hands I fell
18 years a living hell

The Scottish crown belongs to me
Yet I'm bound I can not flee
With iron claws England holds tight
All is lost no chance to fight

Silence - Silence Everywhere

[Chorus:]
Cold walls are my reward
Loneliness engulfs my soul
I've been true i gave my heart
Stained tears i cried
I long to be free again
To walk in peace again
Scotland cries her queen is lost
Agony's her friend again
