One of our new destinations from 2007 will be a visit to Scone Palace in Perthshire. It is now home to the Earl of Mansfield, but 1,500 years ago it was the capital of the Pictish kingdom and an important seat of the ancient Celtic Church. In the intervening centuries it has been the home of parliaments and the crowning place of kings. It has housed the Stone of Scone and been immortalised in Shakespeare's Macbeth.
Visits, which will be featured in many of our itineraries at the Loch Tummel Hotel, will include a tour of over half of the palace including all of the formal rooms with their fascinating array of treasures.
