In page 150 of Vol. [Volume] 4 of Miss Strickland's "Lives of the Queens of Scotland", she
relates the fugitive arrival of Queen Mary at Callander House on 1st
July 1565, after escaping the intended trap of the rebels who thought
to take her prisoner on her journey from Perth. She also states
(Vol [Volume] 5 P. [Page] 65) that Queen Mary often rested a night at Callander House
when journeying from Edinburgh to Stirling. Nimmo confirms the same,
in the Appendix to his History of Stirlingshire (P. [Page] 758), by stating that the
room is still shewn in which Queen Mary slept.
