Swinging sixties boutiques of Glasgow plus Mary Queen of Scots and her dangerous poetry

Susan Morrison digs into the swinging sixties boutiques of Glasgow plus Mary Queen of Scots and the poetry that helped frame her for murder.

Dr Jade Halbert of the University of Huddersfield would have loved to be alive in the sixties! She introduces Susan Morrison to the glories of Glasgow’s boutique culture where you could finally buy trendy clothes your mum wouldn’t be seen dead in and listen to music your dad would shout at. Emily Hay of Glasgow University heads for the not-so-swinging 1560s and looks at why you might use a sonnet sequence to help frame a queen for murder. Did Mary Queen of Scots have her own poems taken down and twisted against her? And is she a much more important Scottish female author than we realise?
