Scone Palace
Description
Former abbey now a grand Georgian Palace, the location where Scottish kings have been traditionally crowned and from where the Stone of Scone (or Stone of Destiny) was taken by Edward I back to England in the 13th Century to form the basis of the crowning of English and now British monarchs. The house is still lived in so only state rooms are open to look round, but you can also wander round large parts of the extensive grounds including the excellent star shaped maze.
