Annual car show on the Scone Palace gravel forecourt and Lime Tree Avenue, raising funds for the restoration of the palace's historic horse-drawn carriage.
Palace & Pistons returns to Scone Palace on Saturday 20 March, from 10:00am to 2:00pm. It's a relaxed get-together for car enthusiasts that comes back to the palace each year, described as the place where a passion for motoring meets an extraordinary setting.
The day works in a straightforward way: owners bring their cars and park them on the gravel forecourt, with the line stretching along Lime Tree Avenue. It's a slow-paced morning, the kind where you can spend as much time as you like walking the rows and chatting with the people who brought them, rather than rushing through a set programme. If you're not bringing a car, it's just as easy to turn up and look around.
There's a specific reason for the event, too. The day raises funds to support the restoration of the palace's original family horse-drawn carriage, which was found in the stable block and is on view on the day. It's a nice bit of contrast to have the carriage on display while the modern cars line the drive outside. Between the cars, you can stop by the coffee shop for a coffee and a scone, or have a look through the shop.
