Tour Scotland photograph of the Stormont Mausoleum, Scone Palace, Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. The Stormont Mausoleum which stands on the summit of the Boot, or Moot, Hill is said to be the aisle of the old parish church, which is believed to have been built about 1624, and was remodelled in 1807. The remainder of the church was demolished in about 1784, on the completion of the new parish church which is said to have stood within the village of Old Scone. This church was itself demolished about 1804, its material being in part reused in the parish church at New Scone. Within the Mausoleum, there is a fine baroque memorial to David, 1st Viscount Scone who died in died in 1631.
