Late Autumn Scone Palace By Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland late Autumn travel video of Scone Palace on ancestry visit to Perth, Perthshire. Scone Palace is a historic house and tourism attraction near the village of Scone and the city of Perth. Built of red sandstone with a castellated roof, it is one of the finest examples of late Georgian Gothic style in the United Kingdom. The Palace has been the home to the Earls of Mansfield for over 400 years. During the early 19th century the Palace was enlarged by the architect William Atkinson. In 1802, David William Murray, 3rd Earl of Mansfield, commissioned Atkinson to extend the Palace, recasting the late 16th century Palace of Scone. The 3rd Earl tasked Atkinson with updating the old Palace whilst maintaining characteristics of the medieval Gothic abbey buildings it was built upon, with the majority of work finished by 1808.
