Turret Confrontation
- When
- 5 August 1600
- Where
- Gowrie House turret room
James enters a locked turret room at Gowrie House, where Alexander attempts to detain him.
After a meal, James forbade most retainers from following him. He ascended the main staircase with Alexander, passing through two chambers and two doors that Gowrie locked behind them. In a turret room, Alexander uncovered his head, declared James's life safe if he remained quiet, and left to consult his brother, locking the door.
