Scone anyone? We were driving through Perth, navigating the township on our way home, when we saw the sign for Scone Palace. Could this be the birthplace of the scone with jam and clotted cream? There is only one way to find out, detour!
We had already visited Perth by train, and on foot our travels were limited. So it was nice to cross the River Tay and drive up along to Scone Palace. Unfortunately for us, it was closed. Again we're too early in the season. A shame, as it seems it would be an impressive place to visit.
Oh well we continued on towards the Scone township. Years ago we failed to find Mississippi Mudcake in Mississippi. Can we redeem ourselves by finding a Scone in Scone? Unfortunately the answer is no :-( We saw nothing of interest in this sleepy hollow and drove on by disappointed. Perhaps third time lucky; any suggestions on places we may try this stunt again?
