They were commissioned by the Stirling Gallery, owned by Angus Ogilvy, one of the University's first alumni. Each of the character cards in the pack is a figure significant to Scottish history.
Mary Queen of Scots is Queen of Hearts in this set (the King is James VI and the Jack is Bonnie Prince Charlie).
'Became Queen of Scots as a baby. The Regent, her mother, sent her to France. Married to the Dauphin and widowed she returned to a turbulent Scotland, full of sturdy individualists. Lovely, leggy, unlucky in love, she lost out and became cousin Elizabeth of England's prisoner, executed nineteen years later.'
