Tour Scotland Autumn Video Trees Moot Hill Scone Palace Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland Autumn video of trees on Moot Hill on a windy ancestry visit to Scone Palace, by Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. From the time of Kenneth MacAlpin, who created the Kingdom of Scone in the 9th century, all the Kings of Scots were crowned on the Moot Hill. Probably the greatest historic event to take place at Scone was the coronation of Robert the Bruce, who declared himself King of Scots upon the Moot Hill on 25 March 1306. The last coronation held at Scone was that of King Charles II as King of Scots on 1 January 1651, some nine years before he was restored to the English throne. Standing on the Moot Hill is a small Presbyterian chapel. Like the Palace, it was restored in Gothic style around 1804.
