According to BBC News:

The Marie Stuart Society said Mary…still does not have an official statue.

Mary was executed on the orders of her cousin Queen Elizabeth I in 1587.

Society resident Margaret Lumsdaine said: “As far as I am aware there is no official statue to the Queen in Scotland.”

Mary Stuart was born at Linlithgow Palace on 7 December 1542.

Adrian Cox, cultural resources advisor at Historic Scotland, said…: “Historic Scotland welcomes every year about 50,000 visitors to Linlithgow Palace.

“And lots of them come here because of that connection with the Stuart dynasty and Mary, Queen of Scots.”
