More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Glasgow as the city thins to rolling farmland and the road leans into Perthshire’s low hills. By midmorning the coach pulls into the sweeping lawn of Scone Palace, where stone walls and formal gardens open onto ancient beech avenues and the Moot Hill where Scottish kings once stood. The air smells of damp grass and peat; distant water sings at the edges of the estate.
