Perth is a city in Perthshire, Scotland, which lies on the banks of River Tay.
Perth used to be Scotland's capital from the 12th century on with the important Scone Palace nearby. Nowadays it is a pretty quiet place with around 50,000 inhabitants, many of whom work in financial services. Scone Palace - Scone is the historic crowning place of no less than 42 Scottish kings, including Robert the Bruce and Bonnie Prince Charlie. Where you can now see the Palace, built early 19th century, stood once the Abbot's Palace. You can see a replica of the Stone of Destiny, upon which the kings were crowned. The original stone was thought to have been stolen by Edward I and brought to London, but some believe the original was hidden by its guardians and that the English king was given a locally quarried substitute. A few years ago this stone was finally returned to Scotland and now resides in Edinburgh Castle. Visitors more interested in medieval history might not want to buy the rather expensive ticket for the Palace, but you can walk around the park on a cheaper ticket. The Palace offers an extensive collection of 17th and 18th century Ivories in the State Dining Rooms, 18th century French furnite, a big collection of Poreclain, Queen Victoria's boudoir and information of the Scottish kings. Palace & Grounds £6.95/5.95/4.00 (adult/student, senior/child). Grounds only £3.50/3.00/2.20 (adult/student, senior/child). Open April-October, Mo-Su 9:30-17:30 (last entry 16:45).

I really didn't want to wake up today. I was sleeping in such a comfortable bed, and it was nasty, cold and cloudy outside, and I was underneath a nice, warm blanket. But I woke up anyway.We were hoping to visit Scone Palace (pronounced 'Scoon') yesterday, but we missed the last bus to the Palace by two hours - so we went today instead! This actually ended up being a better option, because Beth was able to drive us there and act as our tourguide.Beth was quite an entertainin...
