Irish actress Ronan, who rose to fame at the age of 13 in Atonement, appears as the titular queen.
Meanwhile, Margot Robbie has been shortlisted for a Best Supporting Actress Bafta for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth I, the cousin of Mary Queen of Scots.
The film shows Mary Stuart return from France to reclaim the Scottish throne, under the rule of English Queen Elizabeth I, and assert her claim to the English throne.
The Irish actress previously recalled the moment that she saw Australian co-star, Margot , 28, in character on set for the first time.
Speaking to The Sydney Morning Herald, Saoirse said the pair were ‘shaking’ and ‘in tears’ when they filmed a scene, after agreeing to not see each other in costume until their characters meet in a rural farm house in the film.
‘It was uncontrollable the reaction we had to each other,’ Saoirse said.
‘I’m not sure if they were able to use the first take because we were in tears.’

She added: ‘It was as much about me and Margot finally getting to see each other as Mary and Elizabeth being in the same room.’
The screening in Scotland’s capital takes place just over a month after the movie had its European premiere in London.
Parts were shot in Scotland, with Blackness Castle in West Lothian doubling as Linlithgow Palace, the birthplace of the Scottish queen.
Mary’s return to Scotland was filmed at Seacliff in East Lothian while other scenes were shot in Glencoe and the Cairngorms.
