Tour Scotland travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Scone Palace and the Stone Of Destiny which stands on Moot Hill by Scone Palace on ancestry visit to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. The Stone of Scone, also known as the Stone of Destiny and often referred to in England as The Coronation Stone was used for centuries in the coronation of the monarchs of Scotland and later the monarchs of England, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom. Various theories and legends exist about the stone's history prior to its placement in Scone. One story concerns Fergus, son of Erc, the first King of the Scots in Scotland, whose transport of the Stone from Ireland to Argyll, where he was crowned on it, was recorded. Some versions identify the stone brought by Fergus with the Lia Fáil used at Tara for the High King of Ireland. Other traditions contend the Lia Fáil remains at Tara. Inis Fáil, The Island of Destiny, is one of the traditional names of Ireland. Legends place the origins of the Stone in Biblical times and consider the Stone to be the Stone of Jacob, taken by Jacob while in Haran. Scone Palace is a historic house and tourism attraction near the village of Scone and the city of Perth. Built of red sandstone with a castellated roof, it is one of the finest examples of late Georgian Gothic style in the United Kingdom. The Palace has been the home to the Earls of Mansfield for over 400 years. During the early 19th century the Palace was enlarged by the architect William Atkinson. In 1802, David William Murray, 3rd Earl of Mansfield, commissioned Atkinson to extend the Palace, recasting the late 16th century Palace of Scone. The 3rd Earl tasked Atkinson with updating the old Palace whilst maintaining characteristics of the medieval Gothic abbey buildings it was built upon, with the majority of work finished by 1808 All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
