This mural is one of eight scenes adorning the first floor of the Great Hall in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. It depicts the arrival of the Anglo-Saxon princess Margaret (about 1045-1093) in Scotland. Her future husband, King of Scots Malcolm III (died 1093), granted Margaret and her family protection after they had fled England to escape William the Conqueror in 1066. As Malcolm’s wife and queen, she brought the Celtic Christianity of Scotland closer in line with Roman Catholic practices. She established an abbey at Dunfermline and a regular ferry service across the Firth of Forth to help pilgrims reach St Andrews Cathedral. The villages on either bank of the Firth of Forth are named North and South Queensferry in her honour.
