January 29th photograph of Scone Palace, by Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Scone Palace is a large castellated mansion, which dates from 1802, but incorporates some earlier work. There was an abbey here, and this was where the Kings of Scots were inaugurated on the Moot Hill. The Stone of Destiny, or Scone, was used in the ceremonies, but it was stolen by Edward I in 1296, and was only returned to Scotland in 1996, and is now held at Edinburgh Castle. The abbey was dissolved at the Reformation, and the Ruthvens acquired the property. They were forfeited.
