Tour Scotland Travel Video Spring Archway Scone Palace Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland Spring travel video Blog of the old 16th century archway by Scone Palace on ancestry visit to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Over 500 years the historic archway at Scone Palace has seen several kings pass under its grand stonework. The panel above the archway is the ancient Royal Scottish Coat of Arms, flanked by a lion and a unicorn. Scone was as an ancient gathering place of the Picts and it is believed the palace grounds were the site of an early Christian church. The village of Scone once stood within the grounds of the Palace graveyard and the 16th century archway was the grand entrance to the City of Scone.
