The Penicuik jewels, a gold necklace, a locket and a pendant now at the National Museum of Scotland, are said to have belonged to Mary, Queen of Scots, and to have been given to one of her attendants before her execution in 1587. The museum treats the link as possible, not proven, and so do we. Ours is a small rectangular locket that opens, plain inside, for a photograph or a note.
