Inside The 1,000-Year-Old Palace Where The Scottish Kings Were Crowned

Scotland's Scone Palace, the crowning place of Scottish kings, is a site of immense historical significance. Scone was originally an early Christian church and monastery but became the ceremonial place for the coronation of Scottish kings since at least the 9th century.
