Description
This was my first view of Scone Palace and I had to stop and take this shot. Crests over this front gate looked older than the palace and may have been left over from when this spot was an Augustinian abbey
Scone Palace is a Category A listed historic house at Scone, Perthshire, Scotland. It was constructed, by recasting a 16th century palace, in 1808 for the Earls of Mansfield by William Atkinson. Built of red sandstone with a castellated roof, it is a classic example of the late Georgian Gothic style. Presently on view in the state rooms of Scone Palace are fine collections of furniture, ceramics, ivories, and clocks. Some of the prized contents of Scone Palace are Rococo chairs by Pierre Bara plus Dresden and Sèvres porcelains. Some info from Wikipedia. 1995 photo scanned. Zoom if you want a closer look.
Thanks for stopping by my gallery, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.
