We consulted with Medieval Scottish Architecture experts Prof Richard Fawcett and Prof Richard Oram. We created a 3D virtual model to help us better understand the Scone Abbey site. Dr Oliver O’Grady of the MASS Project (Moothill and Abbey Survey Scone) said: “There had been speculation that the mound was created by nobles travelling to Scone for the coronation of Robert the Bruce or that it could have been some kind of geological phenomenon but our dig shows that it was man-made and created at the very beginning of the Kingdom of Scotland. “It doesn’t take away from the myths or the stories, which I think archaeologists and people in general have always taken with a pinch of salt, but what it does is it gives us our first firm foothold of the history of Moothill.” He added: “Scientific studies on the artefacts and samples recovered during excavations in 2008 and 2009 have been ongoing since last year. This has thrown up fascinating revelations about Scone’s history but the new dates from the Moothill are by far the most significant discovery to date. “The radiocarbon dates confirm Scone’s Moothill as one of Europe’s extraordinary survivals, unique in Britain and the first assembly-mound in Scotland to be scientifically dated. The lab results are in a sense nothing less than a birth certificate for Scotland.” How In 2007, Dr O’Grady conducted archaeological research on the site of Scone, which revealed most of the surviving ground plan of the medieval abbey church and also the original form of the Moot Hill royal assembly mound and its enclosures. He explains, “This project is a great opportunity to cut through all the myths surrounding Scone and create a new informed account of Scone’s place in our national story and international heritage sites.” This reconstruction is part of the larger project entitled ‘Royal Scone: parliament, inauguration and national symbol’. Professor Richard Oram, project leader and Professor of Environmental and Medieval History at the University of Stirling, said: “Despite Scone’s importance in Scottish identity and Scotland’s history, there is currently limited understanding of the site, the function of its components, and the nature of the activities undertaken there. This project will assemble a network of researchers in archaeology, architectural history, legal and political history – including representatives from Historic Scotland – to develop a wider and more accurate picture of what royal Scone was like.” Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The abbey was destroyed by a mob from Dundee during the Reformation in 1559. The site of the Abbey now lies under the front lawn of Scone Palace, but one thing remains: Moot Hill, where Scottish Kings were crowned on the Stone of Destiny. The precise location of Scone Abbey had long remained a mystery, but in July 2007, archaeologists pinpointed the location using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology. Scone Abbey’s structure was revealed to be larger than had once been imagined, and the exact location was pinpointed.
