Travel Tuesday # 8 – Scone Palace

These photos are from a 1999 visit to Scone Palace, near Perth, Scotland.  This was the crowning place of the Kings of Scots and now the home of the Earls of Mansfield. The last man to be crowned at Scone was Charles II when in 1651 when he accepted the Scottish crown. Peacocks strut around the grounds.
