About Scone

Scone, located in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, is a town with a rich historical background, originally developing around a monastery and royal residence.

Today, the modern village of Scone is distinct from the remnants of Old Scone, reflecting its evolving landscape and planning considerations. The settlement has a population of approximately 5,050 (2016 estimate). It sits within the Perth and Kinross district.
