Dauphin ( Dauphine is feminine form) is a French title analogous to Crown Prince. oddly it originally meant Dolphin, the marine mammal.No, it is not a pun on Prince of Wales to Whales! There were many Dauphins and Dauphines it is difficult to know which one you are speaking of. Look at a list of French Kings in the World Almanac and see who was in power in Mary"s time. There were various dynasties such as the Valois- in French Vall-Wah- but we used to sound it out Valloy- like something out of Detroit.

At the time of Mary's reign, Borthwick Castle belonged to William Borthwick, 6th Lord Borthwick. Although she never actually lived there, Mary Queen of Scots visited the castle on many occasions. She spent her honeymoon with her 3rd husband - Bothwell - at the castle and also fled to here when the Scottish nobles were after her shortly before her abdication (she escaped dressed as a pageboy).
