At Linlithgow Palace there was a private stair leading to the king's apartments. Walter Dundas encountered the queen, Anne of Denmark, on the stair way in the dark without recognising her, and mentioned this to James VI. The king recognised his wife from his description and ordered him not to use the route in future. (en)
