The story of Scone Palace’s connections to Scotland’s Royal House of Stewart will be
brought to life on Wednesday 22nd July when the Palace hosts a living history
event developed jointly with Historic Scotland, the National Trust for Scotland and the
Historic Houses Association.
Part of an initiative to encourage visitors to follow in their families’ footsteps during
Homecoming Scotland 2009, costumed characters and storytellers will bring the stories of
our Royal Families alive in a series of living history performances throughout the summer.
Visitors will also be able to explore family trails linking Scotland’s finest heritage attractions.
On Wednesday 22nd July, Scone Palace will host four performances called ‘A Stone, the Stewarts
and Scone’. Sir Evan Macgregor Murray C.B, a hero of the Napoleonic Wars and close friend
of Sir Walter Scott, attired in the full costume of a highland gentleman of 1822, will tell the
story of important Stewart Kings and their associations with the Palace, the Murray family
and the Stone of Destiny.
Performances will take place at 11am, 12noon, 1.30pm and 2.30pm.
The performers will also be on site for most of the day and will be
available to talk to visitors, answer questions and pose for
photographs in between performances.

Palace & Grounds: £8.50 adults, £7.30 concessions, £5.30 child, £24 Family
