Scone Palace was founded as an early Christian church, which later developed into an Augustinian abbey, before becoming home to the Earls of Mansfield in 1600. Since at least the 9th century, Scone was the site of the coronation ceremony for Scottish monarchs, who would sit upon the legendary ‘Scone Stone’. The stone was captured by Edward I as spoils of war and taken to Westminster Abbey in 1296, where it is still used for royal coronations (though kept in Edinburgh Castle at all other times). The castle of today is an 18th century remodelling, where you can still walk the Long Galley where King Charles II strode to his coronation in 1661, inspect the needlework skills of Mary Queen of Scots in the bedhangings she worked while imprisoned on Loch Leven, and see the desk where Marie Antoinette composed letters, all of which are surrounded by a treasury of fine furniture and objets d'art.
