What is it about a 厚板 of red sandstone that’s 説得するd a hard-圧力（をかける）d Scottish 会議 to spend £27 million on it?
That’s the sum 要求するd for a new museum in Perth.
It opens on March 30 and will be 十分な of 利益／興味ing stuff. But the main 推論する／理由 it’s been built is to house the 石／投石する Of Scone.
The 厚板 is also known as The 石／投石する Of 運命. It has been used in the 載冠（式）／即位（式） of 君主s since 1307 and Scottish ones for centuries before that.

The museum's 星／主役にする artefact will be the 石／投石する Of 運命 (above), which has been used in the 載冠（式）／即位（式） of 君主s for centuries?
But more prosaic 3D imaging 証明するd that it was indeed quarried 近づく the 古代の village of Scone, a mile or so from Perth.
Once in the new museum, which will be housed in the old city hall, the 石／投石する will be 解放する／自由な to see, but you will have to 調書をとる／予約する a slot.
The 開始 is a chance to 称讃する the attractions of Perth and Perthshire. 地理学的に, it’s like a big heart in the centre of Scotland, an 平易な 運動 from Edinburgh and Glasgow.
It’s usually 促進するd as ‘the gateway to the Highlands ― a 田舎の expanse of low hills, lochs and rivers and (for Scotland) a 比較して 乾燥した，日照りの and 穏やかな 気候.
Start at Scone Palace itself, where the 石／投石する was first used to 栄冠を与える a king, Kenneth MacAlpin, in 843.
The palace is a handsome pile, rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style, but with the 初めの abbey chapel on 討議する Hill above it.

It does very 井戸／弁護士席 out of events such as the Scottish Game Fair in July. You can stay in a 抱擁する apartment and have the 広い地所 to yourself if the Earl of Mansfield and family are not in 住居.
I 駅／配置するd myself at The Taybank in arty Dunkeld, built on land 埋め立てるd from the Tay when Thomas Telford put his 橋（渡しをする） over it in 1809.
It’s a pubby hotel with terrific food by Gemma, its own sauna and riverside ‘beach’.

It’s dog-friendly, too. I walked 地雷 to Birnam, on the opposite bank, where an 古代の sycamore is the last 残余 of the 広大な／多数の／重要な forest that so spooked Macbeth in Shakespeare’s play.
Centuries of 繁栄 have left the city with 罰金 streets, riverside walks, cafes and parks.
It was once the 資本／首都, and with its magical 石／投石する Of 運命 支援する, Perth will once again feel like the very heart of Scotlan d.
