Perthshire Postcards: From Scone Palace to Dunkeld

Scone Palace, and its Moot Hill, is one of Perthshire's most significant subjects. Scottish kings were crowned there from Kenneth MacAlpin in 843 through to Charles II in 1651, with the Stone of Destiny at the centre of the ceremony until it was seized by Edward I's forces in 1296 and taken south. Postcards of the palace and its grounds remain a popular Perthshire subject.

Blair Castle is another landmark that recurs throughout this collection, the seat of the Duke of Atholl for around 750 years. It's also home to the Atholl Highlanders, Europe's only remaining private army, formed in 1844 to protect Queen Victoria during a stay at the castle and still granted the right to bear arms today.

Postcards from Pitlochry, Crieff, Dunkeld and other Perthshire towns appear in this collection too, and we add new stock regularly.

FAQs

What was the Stone of Destiny's connection to Scone Palace?
The Stone of Destiny sat at Scone Palace's Moot Hill and was central to the crowning of Scottish kings from 843 until 1296, when Edward I's invading forces seized it and took it to Westminster.

Is the Atholl Highlanders really the only private army in Europe?
Yes, the Atholl Highlanders, based at Blair Castle and formed in 1844 to protect Queen Victoria during a visit, are recognised as the only remaining private army in Europe, though today they serve a ceremonial role.

What period are these Perthshire postcards from?
Most date from the early to mid-1900s, though this varies by item. Where a postcard has been posted, the postmark on the back can help pinpoint an exact date, and we note this in the listing where we know it.

Do your Perthshire postcards cover towns beyond Scone and Blair Atholl?
Yes, postcards from Pitlochry, Crieff, Dunkeld and other Perthshire towns appear across the collection, and we add new stock regularly.

What condition are the postcards in?
We photograph each postcard closely so you can see its actual condition before you buy. Due to their age, some general wear is normal, such as light creasing, corner wear, or toning, and condition can vary from postcard to postcard.

How can I date an old Perthshire postcard?
A postmark is the clearest clue on a posted card. Where there isn't one, we look at the printing style, the stamp box design and the publisher's mark to estimate an approximate era.

Do you combine postage if I order more than one postcard?
Yes, we combine postage across all items on our store. We post worldwide, and UK orders of £50 and over qualify for free shipping.

How are the postcards packaged when posted?
Each postcard is placed within a protective sleeve and posted in a hardback envelope, to keep it protected in transit.

Is the postcard photo the actual item I'll receive?
Yes, every photo shows the exact postcard you'll receive, not a generic or stock image.
