Tour Scotland video of the Mortuary Chapel on Moot Hill at Scone Palace, by Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Scone Palace Mortuary Chapel or Mausoleum is located on Moot Hill by the replica of the Stone of Destiny. The aisle was part of the old Parish Church of Scone, which is believed to have been built about 1624. Within the Mausoleum, there is a fine baroque memorial to David, 1st Viscount Scone who died in 1631 and a dormer pediment, which probably came from the 17th century palace. David was a Scottish courtier, comptroller of Scotland and captain of the king's guard, known as Sir David Murray of Gospertie, then Lord Scone, and afterwards Viscount Stormont. He is known for his zeal in carrying out the ecclesiastical policy of James VI and I.
