Scone Palace - a 5 star historic house visitor attraction. We are open five days a week and guided tours of the Palace can be booked from Wednesday through to Sunday via our web site. Come along and visit Moot Hill where the 'Kings of Scotland' were crowned. Have a wander around our 100 acres gardens and grounds, followed by a coffee and a Scone Palace scone from our Old Kitchen Coffee Shop.

Due to COVID19 some areas of the site were not open during our visit but we still had a great time and the staff were helpful, friendly and informative, and it still felt like good value for money. Strolling around the well-maintained grounds, past the site of the crowning of Scottish kings, through the proud strutting peacocks and past the fields of grazing highland cows and sheep is well worth it! The included guide leaflet makes the grounds walking tour easy to follow. The tour of the inside of the downstairs of the house was taken by a very professional, well-informed team who were warm and happy to answer any questions. The house really is an amazing timecapsule full of treasures! Highlights: the slightly un-PC but incredibly beautiful ivory figurines in the first room, the Dido Belle portrait (a must-see highlight), the porcelain collection and the organ built for the lady of the house. The outdoor coffee bar (indoor closed due to COVID19) had a good selection and the marquee seating (so you can drink it ‘indoors’!) was comfortable and clean. Plenty of parking and toilets in the car park were clean and tidy.

Popped in to Perth on a day-trip and came across this church which was open to the public. Architecture is amazing I loved the old feel of the church whilst we were there bells were dinging...you can hit the bells to have a shot we just let the wee boy belt them out whilst his dad wandered off looking at it. The windows are amazing and the history of it too. I would recommend to pay a visit in any language as there are A4 sized cards with the history in various languages incl.German, Italian French etc.

9. The Mackintosh Building
This building was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh at a time when he was doing his very best work. The nod towards Scottish Baronial architecture is evident in the projecting turret. The Mackintish Building can be booked for short breaks with the Landmark Trust, a charity that restores historic buildings at risk and makes them available for holidays.
