Scone Palace

The palace was built in the early nineteenth century by architect William Atkinson.

The maze (right) was designed by Adrian Fisher in the shape of a five-pointed star - as featured in the Murray family crest. About two thousand beech trees, half green and half copper, were planted to create the "tartan" effect. David William-Ellis was the sculptor of the figure in the fountain at the centre.

It is located on the site of the Monks' Playgreen where they played their own version of football.
