Although she is probably mainly remembered for her sad end, executed for treason against her cousin, Elizabeth I; when it came to happier things, Mary, Queen of Scots (1542 - 1587) was an avid golfer. She was the first woman to practise Golf in Scotland and she caused a bit of a stir by playing golf at St. Andrew's only days after the death of husband, Lord Darnley.

When she was detained at Chatsworth, she was allowed time to go riding. During her rides, she became interested in the local caves. One of the stalactites in the local caves was named Queen Mary's Pillar, apparently after Mary.
