The seminar entitled "Political Theatre and the Solemn and Pompous Funeral of the Duke of Rothes" will shed light on an extraordinary event that took place in Scotland in 1681. Chancellor John Leslie, the duke of Rothes, was given a funeral that was described as the most sumptuous ever witnessed in the country. This remarkable occasion became the subject of heraldic legend and was also satirized in various forms of print and song. In order to provide a comprehensive understanding of this lavish funeral, the speaker, Dr. Laura Doak, will present a detailed reconstruction based on previously unknown manuscript sources. These sources include the receipts collected by Rothes' heir, letters to the Lyon Court, and first-hand accounts that have not been studied before. By introducing this fresh archival material, the talk will explore the elaborate memorials dedicated to Rothes and their significance within the context of political performance in Restoration Scotland. Dr. Laura Doak, an esteemed historian specializing in political culture in early modern Scotland and the wider British Isles, is currently affiliated with the Scottish Privy Council Project at the University of Dundee. Her expertise and research have led to publications on various topics such as progresses, print, public executions, and female militants. Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the fascinating world of political theatre and delve into the intricate details of the Duke of Rothes' grand funeral.

It is a dream castle. When I arrived, it was the April holiday, there were almost no people on the road, only the old buildings stood in the cold air, solemn and heavy, which was awe-inspiring.

We came here on a spontaneous visit one Sunday afternoon in January and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our wee boy loved seeing the &ldquo;old fashioned house&rdquo; and was so well looked after by all the staff, from the cash register to the flat and back out again.We went round twice (with a shift change between visits!) and the insight into one story of no doubt thousands like it in Glasgow was fantastic. Plus our boy thoroughly enjoyed colouring in his wallie dug. A hidden gem that is well worth the wander through Garnethill.
