Late afternoon sunshine on a flowering meadow of daffodils and tulips in the grounds of the Palace of Holyroodhouse, with Queen Mary's Bath House in the background.
Contrary to the name, this building was probably never used as a bath house, but may instead have functioned as a summer house or dovecote.
In 1776 Scottish Antiquarian John Pinkerton wrote this elegy:
“The chamber, where the Queen, whose charms divine, Made wond’ring nations own the pow’r of love, Oft bathed her snowy limbs in sparkling wine, Now proves a lonely refuge for the dove.”
