Ancient Perth
Scone Palace is a place that breathes history like nowhere else in Scotland. Today, in the 21st century, it is home to the Earl of Mansfield, and a major attraction to visitors from all over the world. Fifteen hundred years ago, it was the capital of the Pictish kingdom and the centre of the ancient Celtic church.
In the intervening centuries, it has been the seat of parliaments and the crowning place of Kings. It is the rightful home of the Stone of Destiny, on which all Scottish and British Kings and Queens have been crowned, immortalised in Shakespeare's Macbeth.
