Scottish Palace Will Feature a Royal Visit This Summer
PERTH - The ancient crowning glory of Scottish kings will hold a series of historic re-enactments this summer, based on characters from its past. Scone Palace is the traditional home of the Stone of Scone, upon which Scottish monarchs have been crowned for a thousand years - though it now resides in Edinburgh Castle.
King Charles II, the “playboy prince,” and the last monarch to be invested in Scotland, in 1651, will be in attendance to tell of his turbulent life and love (May 29 and Saturdays and Sundays in July).
Jennie Douglas the housemaid will also be there on June weekends, speaking of live above and blow stars; while Annie Buchan, the local busybody will give a test of Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century goings-on (weekdays in August).
There are also plans for falconry displays on Fridays in June and July. The place, near Perth, open daily until October 31, has rich collections of clocks, porcelain, ivory and furniture. Entry for all events, including the palace and grounds is £6.95 adult, £4 child. For more information, visit: www.scone-palace.co.uk.
