	Perthshire
		Perthshire lies almost exactly in the centre of Scotland and is one of the country's most beautiful counties - all it really lacks is a coastline.
		Two Perthshire towns, Scone and Dunkeld, were made joint capitals of Scotland by Kenneth MacAlpin in the 9th century, and for centuries the nation's kings were enthroned at Scone on the Stone of Destiny (the coronation ceremony was not adopted until the 13th century).
		Monarchs nevertheless continued to be crowned at Scone, Charles II being the last in 1651.

		Scone Palace is historically the heartland of the Scoto-Pictish Kingdom, a legend that was perpetuated by King Kenneth MacAlpine in the mid-9th century, when he made Scone the senter of the kingdom, a counterpart of the recently created ecclesiastical seat in Dunkeld.
		It was refused, lending credence to a rumor/legend that the monks at the palace knew that Edward I was going to steal the stone; they placed a fake stone in its place and hid the real stone until the English soldiers left.
		The priory was colonized by canons from Yorkshire.

	Scone Abbey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scone Abbey (originally, Scone Priory) was a house of Augustinian canons based at Scone, Perthshire (Gowrie), Scotland.
		The foundation charter, dated 1120, was once thought to be spurious but is now regarded as being of late 12th century origin, perhaps the copying owing to the fire which occurred there sometime before 1163 (it would experience a similar destruction of records during the Wars of Scottish Independence).
		In Scone's case, it became a secular lordship, first for the earl of Gowrie, and then to the man who became the first Viscount Stormont.
