Conductor, Ian Whyte
On July 29, 1829, Mendelssohn visited Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh, and saw the chapel in which Mary Queen of Scots was crowned, now ' open to the sky and surrounded with grass and ivy, and everything ruined and decayed 'And I think he wrote, ' that I found there the beginning of my Scotch symphony '. The sixteen-bar passage that he actually noted down then was the opening of the Introduction.
