The Lost Crown of Mary Queen of Scots - Can YOU Find It?

Legend has it that the Queen entrusted this sparkly headwear to her faithful servant, Ivor Getware, to take to a nearby jewellers to be cleaned and reset. Ivor dutifully did as he was told but on the way back home, tripped on a kerbstone, banged his head and dropped the bag containing the crown. After coming round, Ivor staggered back to the Palace of Holyroodhouse with no recollection of what he'd been up to. As you can imagine, the Queen was NOT impressed!

Could YOU be the lucky explorers who finally discover where Ivor lost the crown?
