Moves to have the body of Mary Queen of Scots returned to Scotland will begin this week.

A member of the Scottish Parliament, Christine Grahame, is to lodge a motion calling for the Catholic monarch's remains to be returned from Westminster Abbey where she is currently interred.

Mary fled to England after being forced to abdicate in 1567.

She was held prisoner by her cousin Elizabeth I, found guilty of treason and executed at Fotheringhay Castle in Northamptonshire 20 years later.
