scone palace

Scone is where we went today. first started in the 13th century as an abbey, apparently, and where all the kings of scotland were crowned - you'll have heard of the stone of scone, this is where it was originally. it was very interesting, and still lived in - by the earls of mansfield, a scottish family with an english earldom (2 earldoms, in fact....)

it was a good day, interesting

Oooh, I know Scone from "Macbeth."

It's exciting to hear you have been there. The stone is fascinating. Wonder if it is the real one? Some question, apparently.

Glad to see you are traveling about and enjoying that new car. Nice.
