This time the American Viscountess, Julie Montagu visits Scone Palace in Scotland – the ceremonial site where Scottish Kings were crowned. In 1803 the medieval house was transformed into the splendid Gothic palace we see today. And for over 400 years Scone Palace has been the family home of the Earls of Mansfield. Julie was given an exclusive tour of the historic interiors by Sophy, The Countess of Mansfield and William, Viscount Stormont;, including the rooms where Queen Victoria stayed during her visit of 1842 and where the winter sport of curling was played. Scone Palace is steeped in Royal History – Julie sees the exquisite bedhanging embroidered by Mary, Queen of Scots and her ladies in 1567 during captivity at Lochleven Castle. And takes a walk in the gardens to see the trees planted by royalty for over 500 years – including two trees planted by Queen Elizabeth II and one by King Charles III in 2010. The crowning glory of Scone Palace is the moot hill where Scottish Kings were crowned.

Join Julie for this first instalment of her visit to Scone Palace.
