Scone Palace

Scone Palace is located near to the village of Scone, Perth and Kinross, Scotland  (Scottish Gaelic: Sgàin, Peairt agus Ceann Rois, Alba) and is about two miles north from the city of Perth off the A93 road. The house and grounds are open to the public and offer a range of facilities. Scone was once the crowning place of the Kings of Scotland and the home of Stone of Scone (Stone of Destiny). Robert the Bruce was crowned at Scone in 1306 and in 1651 Charles II was crowned here as King of Scots some nine years before being restored to the English throne. The place of coronation was known as Caislean Credi (Hill of Credulity) now known as Moot Hill where a replica of the Stone of Scone can be seen. The Palace and grounds are open from the 1st April to 31st October.
