Mary-Ann obviously doesn't know the story about Mary, queen of Scots, and what her cousin Lizzie did to her when she started talking trash about the English hackers. I'd like to point to one more thing: Da Vinci code has a snippet about a cathedral in Scotland, laying on the "rose line" and being connected to Templars and free masons. May be Mary-Ann is the Holy Grail? Who knows? I don't even know the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow, from another documentary about the Holy Grail.
