Scone Palace

Just outside the city of Perth is Scone Palace, the crowning place of Scottish Kings . This took place on Moot Hill and the chapel there on what is known as the Stone of Destiny. The Stone of Destiny is now at Edinburgh Castle, and a replica, known as the Stone of Scone, is on the hill in front of the chapel. The palace name Scone is pronounced "scoon", and the pastry scone (which symbolizes the Stone of Destiny) is pronounced "scon". The magnificent palace, gardens, and chapel are still the residence of the Earl and Countess of Mansfield. A flock of peacocks, along with a beautiful white peacock, also call this bucolic place home.
