Mary Queen of Scots is the second and final album by Eugenius, released in 1994.^[1]

Several songs on the album were released on singles in 1993. The title track was featured as a B-side to the non-LP single "Caesar's Vein", with "Easter Bunny" being released as the follow-up single. The track "Blue Above the Rooftops" was released as a single to support the album in 1994. The track "Home Sick" is only featured on the American release of the album and elsewhere was used as a B-side. The B-side "Green Bed" from the "Caesar's Vein" EP also likely comes from the album sessions.

Dave Thompson, in Alternative Rock, called the album "stronger, more focussed, certainly brighter and cleaner" than the debut.^[5]
