More about this scene

The palace was designed by William Atkinson. Work began in 1803 and finished in 1808. As with Inveraray Castle, the redevelopment meant the removal of the old village, which in this case had grown up round the Augustinian monastery destroyed in 1599. A new village of Scone was laid a mile and a half away, allowing the palace to be set in extensive parkland. All that remains of the old village are the cross and the graveyard.
