“In the deep twilight we went today to the palace where Queen Mary lived and loved,” Felix Mendelssohn wrote to his family in the summer of 1829. “The chapel below is now roofless. Grass and ivy thrive there and at the broken altar where Mary was crowned Queen of Scotland. Everything is ruined, decayed, and the clear heavens pour in. I think I have found there the beginning of my ‘Scottish’ Symphony.”
