Perth and Stirling Castles

Chapel at Scone Castle

 On Saturday we headed north of Edinburgh to Perth and Scone (scoone) castles. Scone was where many kings were crowned when the real "Stone of Destiny" was here. Now a beautiful mansion with a small chapel and grounds with peacocks and the long haired Highland cattle.

Stirling has just been restored. You feel as though in a knight's tale here.

Perfect legoland castle
