Scone Palace has stood at the heart of Scottish history for centuries, the crowning place of kings, the ancestral seat of the Murrays, and a living treasury of stories that span more than 400 years and 17 generations. This is a rare opportunity to step beyond the visitor experience and into the personal world of William, Viscount Stormont, son and heir to the Earl of Mansfield and Steward of Scone Palace, who knows this place not as a curator might, but as someone who has grown up within its walls.
Two distinct journeys are on offer, each entirely private and led personally by Viscount Stormont. The first is a guided tour of the Palace's magnificent State Rooms, lasting 90 minutes. The second is a deeper, more immersive experience: a two-hour behind-the-scenes tour tracing the story of Scone from the beginning of time to the present day, with William's gift for storytelling weaving the Palace's collection, its history, and his family's remarkable connection to this place into something vivid and alive. One or the other, each stands complete in its own right. For those wishing to extend the experience, an intimate Private Dining Package is available to complement either tour. Guests are welcomed into the Earl of Mansfield's Private Dining Room, where the Palace Chef presents a three-course menu drawn from the Estate and Walled Garden, bringing the occasion to a quietly memorable close.
Inclusions:
- An exclusive tour led by Viscount Stormont or a Palace Butler
- Optional Private Dining enhancement, available in combination with either tour
