The Queen's Gallery, Palace of Holyroodhouse
June - November 2019

Research in Ireland - April 2018
Continuing our international trawl through the archives, we had a very successful research trip to Ireland in April, visiting a number of repositories in Dublin and the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland in Belfast. As ever, our inquiries yielded a mixture of the predictable and the unpredictable to feed into our range of publications.
Sotheby's 'The Crown Jewels'
The January 2018 sale Of Royal and Noble Descent included a show piece lot - a replica set of the Crown Jewels.
