“Scone Palace is a magnificent historic house with many fascinating features. The Castle is one of Scotland's favorite visitor attractions, where 42 kings of Scots were crowned on the 'Stone of Scone,' also known as the Stone of Destiny. The palace is a Grade A-listed historic house in Scone and is a prime example of Scotland's late Georgian Gothic style. Initially, the site was a church before being converted into a palace. Scone Palace is open to the public and offers group tours, including during the winter months. Scone Palace also hosts outdoor events, including the Rewind Festival.

2025 Update: Scone Palace is rich in history and provides an elegant and distinctive setting for celebrating any special occasion.”

Speciality:

“Huntingtower Castle is a 15th-century building also known as 'Ruthven Castle.' The castle and lands were granted to the Ruthven family in 1586. Huntingtower Castle remained under the crown's control until 1643, when it was given to the Tullibardine Murray family. Huntingtower Castle was initially constructed as a gatehouse and later developed into a castle. The castle towers were redesigned in the 17th century, with the size of the windows significantly increasing, particularly in the Western Tower. Huntingtower Castle features 16th-century paintings on the first floor of the eastern tower, and the building's ceilings are elaborately decorated. The castle is open to the public and available for wedding ceremonies.

Speciality:

“Abernethy Round Tower is a stone-built Irish-style round tower that is a significant historic structure. Dating back to around 1100, the Tower is believed to have served as a bell tower for a nearby church. Abernethy Round Tower, rising to a height of approximately 22 meters and spanning 5 meters in width, offers a challenging climb to the top, rewarding visitors with panoramic views extending towards the Firth of Tay. An additional feature is a Pictish symbol stone affixed to the Tower's exterior. Abernethy Round Tower was discovered on School Wynd in Abernethy, and this stone was mounted on the Tower in the 20th century.

2025 Update: Abernethy Round Tower is a unique historical destination that offers a blend of history and natural beauty, making it an appealing stop for both locals and tourists.”

SCONE PALACE REVIEWS

What a great place for a day out. The Palace is beautiful and the tour guides are excellent. We were warmly welcomed at the main entrance to the palace and were really impressed with the obvious efforts made to display the history of the building. QR codes allow you to learn more about each room and tour guides are eager and interesting. Toilet facilities are spotless and the cafe has a lovely selection of hot and cold drinks, hot and cold food and drinks. There are 2 lovely gift shops and staff are really friendly. You can walk around the grounds, following 3 different levels of walk, which are well sign-posted. You can see further points of interest and lovely gardens and trees. Highly recommended!

Every person needs to visit Scone Palace. It truly is a little slice of paradise. The staff are lovely and there is a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere throughout the Palace and Palace grounds. The facilities are really clean and well maintained. The food and drinks are unbelievably tasty. Thank you for taking the time and care to look after this beautiful place. I'll definitely be back.

Scone Palace is a very popular tourist attraction. The day I visited there were three tour buses ahead of me. I tried to time my entrance to the Palace. The Palace interior is simply amazing, full of history. It is self guided, but you can ask questions as there are guides in the rooms. The gift shop and cafe were also very busy. I got a seat in the cafe very quickly and the food was lovely. I enjoyed a walk around the grounds as it was a lovely day. Highly recommended but be patient it is a busy place.

HUNTINGTOWER CASTLE REVIEWS

To be clear this is a pleasant hour or two not a day out. There are some very steep tower steps that won't be suitable for small children or those with mobility issues. But if you like a bit of history this may be for you. The great hall with its painted beams and plaster fragments is the jewel here. There are also bats roosting up the chimneys. You can picnic outside and the site manager is very friendly and enthusiastic. The site is closed for a short time in the middle of the day.

This is an amazing little castle. I love that you can go everywhere and imagine how life must have been 500 years ago. Terrific wooden ceilings. Steep and narrow staircases. Fantastic. The host, Allison was great. She gave us a few historical facts. We bought the Historic Explorer Pass for £44 each, which gives you free access to multiple Castles incl this one. Simply a better deal.

Our favorite castle of the trip! So much of the original structure and interior painting remains! Truly like stepping back 500 years. We also liked the kind and helpful woman working at the ticket desk. Clean bathrooms. Highly recommended.

ABERNETHY ROUND TOWER REVIEWS

The key is kept in the Berryfields Tearoom, a tight spiral stair takes you to the ???? at the top. There is a small steep pitch ladder type stair at the top that takes you up to a hatch access to the view point. Well worth the stomp up to the top that opens up a great 360 deg vista of the local area. Not an easy access for all but it's worth the effort if you can manage.

Was here two days ago. But this visit was with my Beautiful Daughter Dionne. She likes taking photos with her canon Camera. So the journey I thought would give her some practise with it. So going up the round Tower was a good one for her. The scenery from up there is good. Dionne loved it. And even rang the bell too.

I went to visit the Pictish Symbol Stone there, the tower is amazing and an unexpected site. It is definitely worth a quick visit.
