| Place Name | Scone |
| Description | Scone is a village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. The medieval village of Scone, which grew up around the monastery and royal residence, was abandoned in the early 19th century when the residents were removed and a new palace was built on the site by the Earl of Mansfield. Both sites lie in the historical province of Gowrie. Old Scone was the historic capital of the Kingdom of Alba and site of coronations with the famous Stone of Scone. Religious upheaval in the 16th century degraded the wealth and importance of Scone. |
