Notes |
- Mary Beaton was one of the four Marys associated with Mary, Queen of Scots. (Maries in Scots meant maids-of-honour). She was the grand-daughter of the hereditary keeper of Falkland Palace. No contemporary portraits survive of any of the four Marys, though accounts suggest that Mary Beaton was the most conventionally beautiful of Queen Mary's four attendants. Mary Beaton married Alexander Ogilvie of Boyne in 1566 (Boyne Castle lies a little east of Portsoy). Through this local connection Mary was eventually buried in the kirkyard there.
