Carved oak doors
Scottish, 16th century
The door is
from the collection of Sir Joseph Noel Paton (1821-1901). Scottish
artist with a keen interest in medieval arms and armour. Paton believed
the panels came from the Royal Palace at Stirling Castle.
This door is carved with the Royal Arms of Scotland and the initials of King James VI (1566-1625). James was the son of Mary Queen of Scots. On the death of Elizabeth I, his mother's cousin, he also became King of England.
