It's taking me down a bit of an Irish/Scots history warren love it!
Few years back when I was enjoying the white queen etc when they were on tv (and yes I know the historical accuracy is practically non existent but it's fun!) and that led to me learning the history of the scots monarchy prior to Mary queen of scots
