Scone Palace

near Perth

For many centuries Scone lay at the centre of royal power in Scotland, the place where the Kings of Scots were crowned on one of the world’s most famous stones, the Stone of Destiny, and today, amidst scenes of great beauty, the sense of power and mystery remains.

Scone Palace, sitting just to the north of Perth, is home to the Earls of Mansfield and draws visitors from all corners of the world.

You can enjoy the wonders of Scone Palace itself, with its fascinating history and wonderful art and antiques collections, and also explore the lovely grounds and visit the shop. Children love Scone.

If you are renting a cottage in Perthshire, Angus or Fife, or you are passing by on your way north or south, you should make a point of visiting Scone Palace.
