Scone Palace is famous as the home of the “Stone of Destiny”, upon which all Scottish Monarchs were crowned until 1296, when Edward I of England stole it when invading Scotland.
At Scone Palace you can see Moot Hill, the exact spot where Scotland’s Kings were crowned. Although a site of many historic events since ancient times, the actual Palace buildings are relatively recent with the oldest parts dating back to 1580. Famous visitors to the Palace include King Charles II, Bonnie Prince Charlie and Queen Victoria.
The Murray family have been the owners of Scone Palace since the 17th century. The 2nd Earl of Mansfield, Sir David Murray, contributed enormously to the extensive collection of artefacts from overseas that you can see when visiting the Palace. He was and Envoy and Ambassador and traveled to Germany, Austria and France where he was a personal friend to Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette.
We highly recommend a visit to Scone Palace, where you can easily spend 2 hours if not half a day. The extensive grounds offer lots to discover including the unique Star Maze. The objects and pieces of furniture inside are amazing, and each room has its own guide to answer your question. You won’t leave disappointed!
