Our Visitor Facilities
Scone Palace has all the facilities needed for a complete day out for all the family.
Tours
Visitors are invited to tour the Palace at their own speed and to take as long as they wish to view all the artefacts. Guides are available in each room to answer questions. Guided tours can be arranged. We will be pleased to allocate one guide to your group for a whole tour of the Palace. There is a charge for this service. French and German speaking guides are also available by prior appointment.
Guide Books
With stunning photography and informative, well researched text, our guidebook is not just a souvenir of Scone Palace, but also an excellent value for money publication. It is available for purchase, priced £4.00. A children's I SPY leaflet, which includes a free pencil, is also available priced £1.50.
Restaurant
The newly extended Old Servants' Hall Coffee Shop serves home baking and savoury snacks throughout the day. All sandwiches are freshly prepared on the premises each day and include everyday favourites as well as a few surprises. The Old Kitchen Restaurant is also available for booked lunches and daily visitors during July and August.
Shop
Our refurbished Gift Shop features many new product lines featuring many of the works of art in the Palace. We also have a Palace Food Shop that has recently been doubled in size and more than trebled in stock.
Picnic Area
Our gardens include a large picnic area that offers an alternative to our coffee shop and restaurant on summer days.
Children's Play Area
Our extensive children's play area provides an energetic diversion for younger visitors who may need to let off a little steam now and then.
Parking
There is free parking for 200 cars and 12 coaches. This is adjacent to the picnic area - a short stroll from the Palace.
Facilities for the Disabled
Wheelchair users are invited to alight at the Palace Gift Shop entrance where a chairlift makes access into all of the State Rooms possible. There is also wheelchair access to the Restaurant and toilet facilities at the rear of the Palace.
School Visits
School visits are welcome and Scone Palace has been awarded a Sandford Heritage Education Award for its very popular Education Pack.
