The Darnley Sycamore

Image: © Richard Sutcliffe Taken: 30 Jun 2015

This is reputed to be the Sycamore tree under which Mary Queen of Scots and her cousin and second husband, Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley sat while she nursed him back to health from an illness in 1565. Beyond the tree is Nitshill Road (A726), and the red-coloured building beyond is the former Darnley Mill - now the World Buffet.
