It was built by King James V in 1539 and is still used to this day. (James features in The Dance of Vipers but there is no tennis, I’m afraid).13 Jul 2025 15:40 +0000at://did:plc:agt4u6snlsaqlcppj7ofwk4q/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltu7i7gri22ohttps://bsky.app/profile/andynairn.bsky.social/post/3lsxm3pq5n22nWoohoo. My second novel is out today. The Dance of Vipers is a thriller set in Scotland 1517, with a bunch of viperous traitors competing to seize the 5-year-old king. It’s a sequel to The Trail of Blood but can be read as a standalone. Anyway, will post the link in thread.
