Julie, Absolutely enjoyed this video!💕 Greetings from North Carolina🇺🇸

[@mariesmith5486]

Brilliant video! Thanks for sharing a discount code for the ufo 3! Haven't had a chance to pick that one up yet, so I'll be snagging it now!

[@janbrown2294]

I love Julie, she has real old school American work ethics. She is also very relatable . The type of daughter, wife, mother to be proud of.

[@aisyahr6]

Fun fact; Viscount Stormont's wife is also an American.

[@garyengel8510]

Scone Palace is a marvel. I was there in the 1980s and was allowed to play their organ. It was a complete joy! Thank you Julie for visiting here time and again. Gary❤

[@purpleclove1929]

Attics, kitchens (which are finally becoming part of the 'tour,') bathroom/loo/WC, and the secret passages are all parts of these old houses, castles, palaces, etc. that I would pay extra to see. I love that the "downstairs" is also becoming a more common place to see! I was at Versailles in the 80's, we were walking outside and noticed there appeared to be stacks of furniture in some of the windows of the top floor. My grandmother and I discussed how much we would love to go up there and see what they had!

[@peterjohn548]

Love and enjoy your enthusiasm for our english heritage ❤

[@peterjohn548]

And Scottish of course 😉

[@karenokeane6461]

Julie. this is the BEST home tour I've seen from your channel, don't ask me why. Enjoyed it so very much.

[@risalangdon9883]

Julie, a lot of these places could really make some good income by offering a unique & separate tour. People absolutely love and are intrigued by attics, cellars/basements, and the various unfinished outbuildings. And if possible, a glimpse from the rooftop. It's not like these spaces need to be empty or clean. Because it's interesting seeing years of antiques, relics and the odds and ends that end up being stored in these areas. Even if these tours are only offered a few times throughout the year. Very fascinating and interesting.

[@kokohead333]

Yes!

[@LPChirrup]

What an absolute dream - difficult financially, I know, but to wake up in that beautiful place every morning, ahhhh...

[@christineingram55]

Beautiful .I love the idea for the extension and they will produce their own power for it too.The views and the lands are beautifully kept too.Thank you for taking us with you 🥰

[@janetdoten4489]

Love these adventures! I would love to see these magnificent places.

[@melissaphillips3088]

Lovely house and tour Julie. Hope you have a wonderful Easter🐣💕

[@Annie6460]

Fabulous tour Julie thank you. ❤️🇦🇺🇬🇧

[@connielilly1199]

Although this may be on a much larger scale, Biltmore in Asheville , NC USA has done this. I remember when the stables were nothing but an ice creamery and you would walk through and see where they used to keep their horses and their cars. Now it is a very good café with large bathrooms for the crowds and very nice bookstore and souvenir shop.

[@eleanorlaurent2303]

Lovely tour, thanks so much 🩷

[@lmoore155]

Loved this tour!! I’m a descendent of the Murrays, now in Nova Scotia in Pictou Co. Don’t think we were linked to this family as my great cousins were and are farmers in Nova Scotia.

[@lidiakuhn6505]

Julie what a majestic Castle, this property is breathtaking.❤

[@williamevans9426]

Proper, big teacups! Lovely refreshments in lovely surroundings, and what a marvellous renovation of the interiors, too. Many thanks! (BTW, who is 'Red Algie?! 😆)

[@magsstewart5488]

That’d be a lovely place for Shakespearean Faire. I see a chapel, and plenty of ground for hosting weddings. I’d also mention as far as accommodations go, were I coming to visit a castle, I’d want to stay in the castle because…castle! Regardless of how fabulous a rebuild might be, it is not a castle. Doing both might work. I really love their garden shop ideas. The grounds are stunning! The tartan maze is brilliant! 😍

[@computerismo]

just by watching the first two minutes, the level of production is so good and it gives me old hollywood vibes. The cinematography is actually quite impressing.

[@diannagalante5717]

Love that Corvette convertible!🩵

[@JamesMcIntyre-lv5xh]

Hello from Salem, Oregon. Lady Hinchingbrooke, I just saw an article that the King is going to allow public tours of Balmoral Castle, for the first time. Perhaps you could take your cameras in, record the tour, and share it with your viewers. It would be most interesting. Thank You for all you do.

[@juliaz5499]

A very handsome man! The castle is breathtaking.

[@EVALLOYD]

Hi Julie, I know the rule to not get lost in a maze, I won't write it here to keep the mystery and not spoil the joy of getting lost. Thanks for this wonderful episode. Scone is indeed an amazing castle steeped in Scottish history.

[@glennwing4214]

How exciting to see Burnham Wood! That part of MacBeth has been in my head for 60 years!

[@Lou58Lou]

A farmer's market would be another idea. A venue for hosting weddings, graduation parties, family reunions, and fete's.

[@charmainejfritz]

lovely home and family! apparently my scottish ancestors the gunn clan never inherited such gorgeous homes and grounds my father told me we were horse thieves from the orkney islands - great clan but bummer!!!

[@k.j.2481]

I hope they are successful. Reliving the past and honoring it's origins brings new beginnings to continue to be proud of life's accomplishments. If we can't be happy for others, there's little chance that we can overcome life's struggles in our own situations. Life is truly beautiful.😊

[@g.g.6785]

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@carylgrundy7814]

I really enjoyed this episode. You are lucky to be able to visit such historic homes😍

[@PamDubier]

I love this channel. Always so upbeat and the architecture/history is fascinating.

[@anapaulaamaral1514]

I loved the tea cups and saucers....

[@lindak8664]

I could see accomodation in one of the wings of the stable block. That would be a massive undertaking though, creating the bathrooms alone would be mind blowing! But, IMO the tourists would be lining up. Those scones looked so good! If it wasn’t 2am here, i’d be in the kitchen 🤤

[@sarahhudleston832]

Best episode yet!

[@RighteousReverendDynamite]

The maze is great! Very unique use of different colored beech trees to make the tartan pattern. I have never seen any other garden hedge maze done in this way.

[@patriciafoley1494]

Great visit Julie!! They seem like very nice people wishing them all the best with their new projects. Can’t wait to travel back with you when you return to Scone palace.

[@kokohead333]

That stable area and maze! Stunning!

O my how lovely! What an adventure and such an amazing place. Thank you, Julie and Luke and Mapperton Crew, truly a treasured visit! Peacocks 🦚 🦚 were such a wonderful suprise to see! My grandmother used to raise them (had greens and white ones). Happy Easter 🐰🐣🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🖤🩶🤍 all!

How do these families continue to generate the revenue to maintain, continue, their estates? That has been the demise of so many estates. It would be so interesting to know what businesses the families are involved in that generate the revenue to maintain their amazing heritage.

[@arslongavitabrevis5136]

Hello Julie: Beautiful video and tour of Scone Castle (BTW, you have no idea how much I wanted to be there to partake in those wonderful scones!) The countess and her son impressed me as very nice and down-to-earth aristocrats. One of the hallmarks of a man or a woman of good breeding is a natural politeness devoid of affection or arrogance; these ones being the hallmarks of a snob (i.e: a pretentious idiot) Greetings from Argentina 😍

[@carolinedecastro4171]

I would not make larger the stables space, just look for a better use of the space. It is perfect as it is.

I would be interested to see American Viscountess do her genealogy.

[@carolinedecastro4171]

The stone of scone.

[@ryanm7171]

Julie, it would have been much more fun if you were walking in the maze. I'm sure they would have rescued you/shown you the way out if you actually got lost, but I had faith in you. Maybe next time?

Can you add a lift to the castle or side buildings How about horse show or competition or annual brocante

Are those photina bushes?

I, as an American, in NC, pronounce scone, as in "bone, or on" I'm probably butchering the word!

Why don't you ever mention the Dukes of Manchester in depth, the present being Alexander Charles David Drogo Montagu, 13th Duke of Manchester who is the present head of the House of Montagu to which the Earls of Sandwich belong? also the Dukes of Manchester's Seat Kimbolton Castle and their various other seats?

[@jeanniehenrichs1897]

Why aren’t we seeing the mother speaking in the first part- odd

[@autumvaught2660]

What a lovely future plan they have for that stable area. One thing I think all these grand estates should consider as verbiage. Instead of referring to the people visiting as tourists (because this word, although accurate, can be a bit off-putting), maybe the phrase or wording of day guest. It makes the overall experience feel more elevated, just like the estate.

[@jackiesaylor2487]

Too bad they didn't put their palace for use of the Starz TV show OUTLANDER. They'd probably get about 10,000 visitors a year, at least. OUTLANDER and Harry Potter have increased the international visitors in Scotland by like 300%

[@nicolad8822]

Scone Palace gets over 100,000 visitors a year plus attendees at special and corporate events.

[@nica900]

Did I hear that right? Getting local people to pay a membership fee so they can visit with their children to play on the playground? Where I come from (NZ) that would be a laughing stock.

[@nicolad8822]

It’s a private business? They pay for the equipment and grounds upkeep, they have to manage access and safety otherwise they’d be overrun. It’s just like a frequent visitor pass. A one of visit to the Palace and Gardens is normally £18.50.

Oh PLEASE! Give that woke ridiculousness a rest. You're surprised she's "allowed?" Julie is an adult woman and makes her own decisions. Most cannot afford electric cars anyway, and I'm very happy with my American non-electric car. By the way, the climate isn't going to be fixed. Read the Bible, and you'll discover why not.
