EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the tense moment before the assassination of James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray and Regent of Scotland, in the main street of Linlithgow on January 23, 1570. In the foreground, James Hamilton, 2nd Earl of Arran, stands with a pistol in hand, his face a mask of intense concentration as he prepares to shoot the man who had become a formidable political rival. Moray, unaware of the imminent danger, walks along the street, surrounded by his men. The anticipation of the impending violence is palpable in the stillness of the scene, the tension in the air thick with the weight of history. The assassination of Moray, a key figure in Scottish history, marked a turning point in the power struggles that would shape Scotland for decades to come. Hamilton, who had been exiled from Scotland after a failed rebellion against Moray, saw an opportunity to regain power and influence by eliminating his enemy. The assassination took place in the heart of Linlithgow, a town that had long been a symbol of Scottish royalty and power. This historic photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political intrigue, power struggles, and the raw emotion of a pivotal moment in Scottish history. The image is a poignant reminder of the complex web of alliances and enmities that shaped the political landscape of 16th century Britain, and the enduring impact of individual actions on the course of history.
