Scone Palace was originally built as a royal residence by the Kings of Scots, with significant construction occurring in the 14th century, and it is historically important as the traditional coronation site of Scottish monarchs. The Mote Church and Mausoleum, dating to the 17th century, are associated with the Drummond family, who held the area as earls and later dukes of Perth.
