Overview

'In the 400 years since my family first lived at Scone, the place has meant many things to many people. Great ceremonies and affairs of state have been conducted here. Generations of Murrays have made it their family home. It continues, as it always has done, to provide a secure livelihood for many who live locally. Today it also offers a unique first-hand experience of Scotland's heritage to the thousands who visit us each year. We look forward to welcoming you to the Crowning Place of Scottish Kings and the original home of the Stone of Scone.'

Earl of Mansfield
