Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn travel video, clip, with Scottish music, of trees, on visit and trip by Scone Palace by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Scone was an important religious gathering place of the Picts, and it was the site of an early Christian church. King Robert the Bruce was crowned at Scone in 1306 and the last coronation was of king Charles II, when he accepted the Scottish crown in 1651. The first Lord Scone was Sir David Murray. He was of Flemish noble origin, and was Cup-bearer, Master of the Horse and Captain of the Guard to King James VI of Scotland. The 3rd Lord Stormont held the last coronation in Scotland. After the Scottish Reformation put an end to the Augustinian Abbey at Scone, the Ruthven family acquired the estate and built an imposing fortified residence around 1580. The Ruthvens could not steer clear of political conspiracy, however and the property was seized by the crown and ended up in the hands of the Murray family. The Murrays supported the Jacobite cause, and the 5th Viscount Stormont hosted The Old Pretender at Scone Palace during the 1715 rebellion. The Viscount was imprisoned for his actions, and so was his heir, the 6th Viscount, after his sisters hosted Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745. In 1802 the 3rd Earl of Mansfield brought in William Atkinson to completely remodel his ancestral home in the fashionable Gothic Revival style. Atkinson would later design Abbotsford for Sir Walter Scott, but at Scone he designed a romanticised 19th century version of a medieval palace, incorporating parts of the 16th century house. The village of Scone got in the way of landscaping the grounds, so the entire village was moved 2 miles away. The surname Mansfield was first found in Nottinghamshire, England, at Mansfield, a market town that dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086 where it was listed as Mamesfelde. The various spellings include Mansfield, Manfield, Mansfeild and others.
