This time the American Viscountess, Julie Montagu visits Scone Palace in Scotland - the ceremonial site where Scottish Kings were crowned. In 1803 the medieval house was transformed into the splendid Gothic palace we see today. And for over 400 years Scone Palace has been the family home of the Earls of Mansfield. Julie was given an exclusive tour of the historic interiors by Sophy, The Countess of Mansfield and William, Viscount Stormont;, including the rooms where Queen Victoria stayed during her visit of 1842 and where the winter sport of curling was played. Scone Palace is steeped in Royal History - Julie sees the exquisite bedhanging embroidered by Mary, Queen of Scots and her ladies in 1567 during captivity at Lochleven Castle. And takes a walk in the gardens to see the trees planted by royalty for over 500 years - including two trees planted by Queen Elizabeth II and one by King Charles III in 2010. The crowning glory of Scone Palace is the moot hill where Scottish Kings were crowned.
Join Julie for this first instalment of her visit to Scone Palace.

How beautiful it is for the hosts to see Julie’s great authentic interest.
One of the best historical homes Julie has done. Love it.
The best mansions don't need to be pimped out for tourist tickets, the owners make money, not the mansion
leg up for william, what a spunk
This is such a beautiful tour of Scone Palace. Sophy, The Countess of Mansfield and William, Viscount Stormont were informative and gracious and made the tour of their home feel welcoming. These a brilliantly put together educational videos that are a delight to enjoy.
It's absolutely fascinating.
Amazing! Robert the Bruce was my 14th Great Grandfather ❤! He was an amazing man from what I've watched and read! Charles II was 5th cousin! Thank you Julie for this wonderful video! 🎉 Beautiful castle and amazing history!Stunning embroidery! Our family dates to Stuarts, Craig's and Tudors. I love all of this history! Lovely trees! Thank you so much Julie, Countess and Viscount!!!! I will definitely visit one day! ❤🎉
That's so cool. I'm related to his mother... according to the moodie book. My 9th great grandparents were the laird's of Cocklaw and Thornton but his daughter moved to Australia so I too enjoy learning about the family history from UA-cam.
@@co-opadmin9562 That's terrific 😊! It's amazing to discover your family history!!!
Awesome you got to see your family history. Julie thanks for sharing
Me too hehe 😉
He was my 14th great granfather, too! Nice to meet you, cuz!!
I live in a small village a few miles from Scone Palace, it's a beautiful place to visit , I've been many times , for walks, coffee, lunch and great for kids and dogs
Julie, you do really great interviews. You are a good listener, you let the people talk and you bring so much to the table yourself. It's the perfect mix.
Thank you, Lady Hinchingbrooke, for making these. I love the history you dig up. That hedge maze was a-maze-ing.
That Earl of Kintore is an ancestor of mine- the Keiths of Dunnottar 😊 So glad I found my Scotland through ancestry research.
Salem Oregon here. Did this just take my number one from Blair Castle? ❤
I was thrilled to see the Douglas fir. I was born, bred and live in the Pacific Northwest (USA) surrounded by Douglas firs all my life, sometimes in my home at Xmas. Knew they were discovered by and named for David Douglas and that he was a Scottish botanist. Didn't know he was born and raised at Scone and started his career there. So glad he was able to bring a Douglas fir seed back and plant it at Scone! Merges my Scottish heritage too-- among others, I have direct Moray/Murray and Douglas ancestors-- rabid admirer of the Jacobites, the Jacobite Murrays, etc., love the story of Isabella MacDuff racing to crown The Bruce on behalf of her brother/family tradition (not included here), and especially liked personal enthusiasm in presenting stories of the estate, the items displayed, the rooms by the Countess and Lord Stormont. Their love for Scone shines. I saw the Stone of Scone with my own eyes under the Coronation throne in 1978 at Westminster Abbey and am so happy it's where it belongs at Scone. I wish my visit to Scotland back then had included Scone. I smell the fresh scent of Douglas fir. 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
I am a descendant of Robert the Bruce ...(proven through genetic testing ) ...i live in Oklahoma most of my ancestors lived around or in Oklahoma ... we had stories in the family of being descended from Robert the Bruce but never knew they were true until the testing proved it to be true .that set off my curiosity or everything about Robert the Bruce and now i crave all the info to add to my families story ...i will probably never travel outside of America or even Oklahoma to see where he stepped foot once upon a time ..but thank you so much for showing me something that my ancestors once walked / lived /visited it makes them come to life for me and i am able to share truthful facts with my mom who is elderly to make her feel like she came from something pretty special and its all proven fact and no one can take that away from us .....i cant thank you enough for the care and making and putting out this video for people who may have descended from a prolific person in the past we can now put our histories together and seam the bond of our families who paved the way for us ...
What an amazing Castle Julie!!! Thank you for the information imparted about this historic place. I am a descendant of The Stewarts of Bute yet 'we' use the spelling of Stuart; when that was changed by my ancestors I have no idea but that is my middle name coming from this great source. Our seat is Mount Stuart on the Island of Bute.
Just a little history for you. :)
They seem so nice and normal! What a lovely house.
Absolutely beautiful and a lot of history
I live in Scotland and I just love seeing are amazing history and are historical roots so watching your channel it has really made me want to explore more of the amazing Scottish history
The Douglas Fir tree truly is magnificant - Royalty indeed! Looking forward to the next episode!
Amazing castle!!❤
This place is about the best I have seen so far! It is stunning & the history of it is fantastic. I noticed a stuffed Peacock inside the house so I am guessing they have always been kept here. Their cries would take a lot of getting used to.
Great episode Julie and I cannot wait for second ! I think Scone Palace is one of my favorite places to see and learn about. So much history in such a beautiful place. 🏴 🙌
Charles II, Earl of Sandwich, Sandwich island etc etc this is why history is so fascinating, how pieces of it fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Brilliant video. TY
Julie thank you for your video regarding the Castle and beautiful Castle and garden with a lot of history in Scotland.
I'm a huge superfan of the old TV show Twin Peaks. Douglas Firs are pretty important in our fan community. To see one of the first is really cool! 😊
My goodness.... William has to be the most handsome man I've ever laid eyes on. 😮
That castle is definitely a must see in my future travels. Not to mention I am a lover of trees. I love the tradition of royalty planting trees. My cat Willy loves the peacock.
Thank you for encouraging those who need a little help with every day life, great job!
Always wondered what itd be like to have a modern Scottish coronarion. Stone of Scone on moot hill, thistle knights, etc.
This is my new favorite episode. Looking forward to next week! Thank you, Julie!
They’ve always been brilliant, but I have to say .. your videos get better and better each and every time. I loved this, especially the idea of “A Victorian Disco” .. I wonder if Cher performed?! 😜
The history is amazing! The Palace, The Stone and the trees! Thank you for sharing your adventure🙂
A beautiful palace, an amazing history and a delightful family. Thank you.
Wonderful 😊Robert the Bruce is my 21st Great grandfather and I absolutely love Scottish history, great program guys thanks from Australia ❤
Beautiful place 😎 I think I'm more impressed by the grounds than inside haha.
I'm in Far North Queensland at the moment and took a trip to a town called Ingham last weekend. Your family is also remembered there through their sponsorship of Captain Cook's voyage down the east coast of Australia. There's quite a few Himchinbrooke (they got the spelling wrong lol) things- a hotel in the Main Street, streets, a port etc and the largest island National park in Australia that's offshore from there. Was cool seeing it as a viewer of your channels.
One of my favorite videos you’ve ever done, Julie!
What a great episode. Thank you Julie and team!
That is one striking Viscount! Charlotte is one lucky lady!
Fascinating!! I love learning about these magnificent places and their history!
Thank you so much for visiting Scone Castle, although I would never have realised it was pronounced this way as in Australia we say Scon Not scoon or scone as in cone. My grandmother was English from Brighton & made the most yummiest of scon(e)s & cooked with a fuel stove. I can't make a successful one at all as mine always came out like concrete blocks, no matter how carefully I followed the experts!! My pastry is also like concrete, you scrape the topping off & play Frisbee with the base!! However, I could make an excellent sponge which were my favourites anyway. I absolutely loved the history in this place. I am a McDonald on my grandfather's side of the family tree. However, I have more Northern Irish in me than the rest of my heritage put together. 🤣
I was blessed to visit Scone Palace over 30 years ago. It was wonderful to see the changes and yet also everything that has stayed the same over the years in your video. Thank You Julie for bringing us along to the Beautiful Home.
Wow such an amazing video xxx
Can't wait for part 2
So interesting! Thank you ❤
I do so look forward to your videos!! Thank you!!
This was such a fascinating episode!
Loooove this episode! Can't wait for the next!
Amazing castle and historic trees.
Thank you this was amazing!!😊
Julie, thank you so much for this episode. I went to David Douglas High School in Oregon. There are many Douglas firs planted on the property. It was the largest High School in the state of Oregon for many years. We learned David Douglas’ story in history class, but you just added more facts. Tell your friends he is still honored to this day in Oregon.
Great information in this video! Thank you.
Fabulous video! I’ve learned so much
What a wonderful tour of such a historical location!
Beautiful place
Fabulous presentation as always. Gorgeous and fascinating.
I love going along on all your tours but for some reason I loved this one even more. Thank you for giving me a glimpse into places I just couldn’t afford to go to in person.
Beautiful castle 🏰👑. Hello from sunny Perth Western Australia 🌏🦘🏖️
So beautiful and so much amazing history. Love it.
Another excellent episode!! Thank you!
Absolutely loved this was so interesting amazing place, history and stories. Didn't even know this place existed. Thanks Julie
Fascinating. Thanks 🙏
Love that vest, Julie.
Absolutely fascinating. Loved every moment
Amazing!
Brilliant 💜
Hi Julie and team. Just finished watching; always watch on my TV so unable to comment, but had to log-in to say, this was one of my favorite episodes. Love how slow and detailed the tour was and the family is so nice. Each time watching a show I want so badly to fly over and tour. Someday, hopefully God will open a door for me to fly over. One other comment, the Doug fir! Wow, loved the story and what an interesting way it’s growing. Love Doug fir; I’m in Portland, Oregon, and they grow here like weeds-have four huge ones (would take two people to hug one) in my back yard. Plus the story of all the trees was so fun to hear. Trees are amazing for how long they live, and knowing who planted them can be a bit mind blowing. Anyway, I’m a newer fan, quietly following your work, and am so glad I fell upon your channels. Thank you for your work in sharing these historic homes with all of us around the world. Would love to meet you someday. Can’t wait to see more of this beautiful castle/home. Amy
Thank you so much Amy!
Fabulous informative video. Just, driving a vintage Corvette in Scotland is like eating haggis in Miami. ))
Very cool video
Omg i love your video..new subscriber! For sure!!❤❤❤
What a beauty
This was very interesting
Every single corner turned in that Castle is AMAZING. I've no word(s) that convey just how Beautiful all the furnishings are. Fantastic video Julie.
wow amazing
Bonjour à tous from Nantes in 🇨🇵. Here too, in old houses, there were "La Chambre du Roi". There is a XVe c manoir, nearby, where you can still see the outside stairs that used to lead to the Royal Room. By the way, hello to Lady S.
Afternoon! Kansas
Hi from Chicago. Beautiful palace and so much history. Is this the palace that has the Dido Elizabeth Belle and Lady Elizabeth Portrait? That is a fascinating story.

Not much different today!
Just wow.
England and Scotland have the most beautiful historic buildings.
That Viscount is 😍😍😍
It’s so sad the damage the sun can do to tapestry!
A fan of it ever since ❤️ 💙 💜
My mother's ancestors are of the Foster clan. ❤
Racine, WI USA
This wasn’t on our tour of Scotland, unfortunately.
Has the 2nd part been posted yet? I cant find it 😔
I've wanted to ask for some time, the very thing the brought me to this channel, was the blue Corvette. What happened to it? I've watched every episode up til this one, and it's only seen in the introduction. I'm a fan for sure, but would love to know why it's not in any episodes. Thank you for great content
I remember this question came up a year or so ago and Julie answered that the car belongs to her producer and was just on loan for that one day of filming.
I was listening to the video for a moment while doing a chore and had to come back to the screen to figure out what cat was being so loud in the video…. Just to find out that it’s peacocks honking 😭😭😭😭
Can you do an episode on your family vault please?
When you became a Viscountess, did you have to lessons in deportment and etiquette?
What year is the Corvette? Is it yours?
Yes, a very beautiful place with a rich history going way back in time. Its good to hear the comments from Lady Mansfield about the stone of destiny, its a much held belief in Scotland that the stone of destiny has never left Scotland. It was supposed to be Jacobs pillow, from the biblical stories, and was a black stone with mysterious carvings. The stone that Edward I stole from Scone in 1296 was a block of locally quarried red sandstone, and the monks let them take it with no opposition, that should answer the question of was it real or not. One of the parallel events at this time was that Edward I also stole all of the royal records from Scotland that the monks held and the ship that was carrying these records down to London sank with the loss of all of the historical documents.
Oh no… I thought Robert the Bruce was the first king of Scotland! Thank you 😮
William is very handsome 😅
Good heavens, with 9 months notice, how do you not get time off work for lunch with the queen 👑????? 😱🤔
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🌳🌳🌳
For the Queen Mary,
I am a descendent of Robert the Bruce
Funny I'm sure tye islands Had names and I'm sure the natives wanted nothing to do with the interlopers
Ok he's cute 👀
Why are you driving an American car?
Am I the only one who thought Macbeth would be a woman? It sounds like a would be a woman's name.
One of my fav episodes, thx. cgzone8
