Scone Palace, Scone, Perthshire, Scotland. It was constructed in 1808 for the Earls of Mansfield by William Atkinson. Robert the Bruce was inaugurated king of Scotland on 25 March 1306 at Scone. Built of red sandstone with a castellated roof, it is a classic example of the late Georgian Gothic style. In the Middle Ages the land was the site of a major Augustinian abbey, Scone Abbey (nothing now remains above ground level), the crowning-place of the Kings of the Scots (on the Stone of Destiny) down to Alexander III. Boats on the lake in foreground and cattle. From a series of Scottish views by French painter and lithographer François Joseph Dupressoir (1800 - 1859), published in London and Paris. Numbered 'PL.15' upper right.
