SCONE PALACE. Scottish, Reel. F Sharp Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. Composed by Aberdeenshire fiddler-composer biography:Alexander Walker. Scone, Perth and Kinross, lies not far from the city of Perth, Scotland. It was the site of an abbey and the Stone of Destiny on which the Scottish kings were crowned since Kenneth I. Kenneth MacAlpin made Scone the capitol of his kingdom of Alba around the year 843 when he united the Picts and Scots. The abbey and Bishop’s Palace were destroyed during the Scottish Reformation (1559). James, the Old Pretender, established his court there in 1716, and Bonnie Prince Charlie slept there in 1745. Since 1606 the palace has been the family home of the earls of Mansfield.
