Annual day celebrating Scone Palace's snowdrop displays with a Snowdrop Walk through its gardens and a demonstration on how to lift and transplant snowdrops.
Scone Palace holds its annual Snowdrop Day on Saturday 20 February 2027, from 10:00am to 3:00pm. It's the day the estate turns its attention to the snowdrops that grow across its gardens and grounds, and the whole thing is built around a Snowdrop Walk that takes you through the Friars Den, the Victorian Pinetum and the old lime-tree-lined drive. If you've never been, the palace is a Perthshire estate with more than a thousand years of history and was the original home of the Stone of Destiny, and the house, gardens and cafe bring in visitors from across the country.
While you're out on the walk, the gardens team will be working in a wooded area to show how to lift, split and transplant snowdrops, so you can see how they're actually managed. Every person who comes along gets a gift of snowdrops to take home, and the gift shop will have a small selection of specialised snowdrops on sale if you're looking to add something specific to your own garden. The cafe is open on the day, too, for when you've finished the walk.

It's a simple enough day—a walk through the grounds, a look at how the snowdrops are handled, and a few bulbs to take away with you. It runs from 10:00am to 3:00pm at Scone Palace in Perthshire.
