The National Museums Scotland holds an embroidered wall hanging that allegedly used to decorate the bed of Mary Queen of Scots at Loch Leven Castle, Kinross-shire, Scotland. It is made of red wool with a napped surface (creating a felt-like surface) and decorated with black velvet appliqué and silk thread embroidery.

The hanging was exhibited at the exhibition Mary Queen of Scots, held at the National Museum of Scotland from 28th June until 17th November 2013.
