We visited Perth to see the mysterious Stone of Destiny!

This week we head to the heart of Scotland to visit Perth to visit a new £27 Million home for the stone of destiny, upon which the kings and queens og Scotland were crowned.
Safe to say it didn't go to plan.
There may also be a parkrun, a graveyard and some charity shops as well as some amazing buildings and, at the heart of the city, the silvery river Tay.

All our videos are hand made from 100% organic ingredients ;). Our content is mostly filmed on a GoPro 11 with a Rode fluffy microphone to keep the wind noise down, with occasional bits on an iPhone13. We also use a DJI Mini 3 drone which we're loving getting to grips with.
We make our own music using GarageBand and the videos are edited in iMovie.

I love that DeNero sleeps so abandonly,the sign of a dog who feels safe.😊

[@scotlandonashoestring]

He gets into some positions but yes I think he is a happy boy! 🐾

Another awesome video! That’s weird that the museum wouldn’t let anyone take pictures/video of the destiny stone. Oh well…. Google has an image. Hahaha!
Great finds at the charity shop.
DeNiro just being a dog, sniffing every blade of grass…checking out the p mail. 😊
No no, don’t pull any pieces of stone off the bridge.
Thanks again for sharing your adventures with us.

They were great charity shops!

[@tanithmessenger3581]

Boo to the museum!! Great charity shop haul 🙂What a great graveyard - need a longer look round for sure! Love how they've protected the older stones. Haha DeNiro you dafty 😀💖

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Yeah was pleased with the bargains of the charity shops!

[@jds3493]

WATCH THIS ALL THE WAY TO THE END!!! Also, thanks for including somebody else's picture of the Stone of Destiny so we could see what it looks like!

[@scotlandonashoestring]

You’re welcome.

[@FrankC321]

Thanks!

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Wow, sorry a bit behind on answering!! Thank you SO much!!

[@user-wh2bd3yf1h]

Thank you for your interesting videos. I enjoy your humour and I love my antique glass bottle ordered via Etsy. Thank you 😀 DeNiro in his bed made me laugh! 🥰

[@scotlandonashoestring]

So glad you love it!! Thanks for the kind words.

That was a fun episode, the cemetery was very interesting and did indeed have many amazing tombstones. Perth looks like a lovely city, we have its namesake here in Ontario. It has many beautiful limestone buildings which were built in the early part of the 19th century by Scottish stonemasons who had come to Canada years before to help build the Rideau Canal. Our town of Perth sits on the Tay as well.

We love Perth is a beautiful city!

So glad to see you in Perth. My husband’s hometown. I know it well.

[@scotlandonashoestring]

We love Perth!

The Fair Maids House is a medieval building that partly dates from 1475 and used to be part of the Blackfriars Monastery. It also served as inspiration for Sir Walter Scott's book of the same name. It has some very interesting history and looks like it would be worth a pass by the next time you're there. You must have walked right past it when you went to the spot with the plaque that mentioned the monastery. 🤣

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Ahh, right, be cool to see that. Need to get back up there.

[@sandiandgregh]

We enjoyed Perth, too. The Black Watch Castle & Museum is interesting as well. I think you can take photos. ;) Loved the charity shop pieces. Let us know how the trashy books are. I think I’ve read one by JoJo Moyes…

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Will do haven’t read them yet but just finished one so they’ll be next!

[@bridgethuggett1052]

The fair maid of perth is a novel by Sir Walter Scott

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Thank you.

[@annegoodwin4620]

Thanks for another great video! Btw I agree Euphemia is a very interesting name! Greek roots Eu (good) + phemia (speech/ language) = “a well spoken woman” 😎

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Ahh, thank you!!

[@MaryShepherd-ui9hc]

I'm about to get a book and wait in the car too.

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Great plan!

[@FrankC321]

At 29:13 I thought that little piece of sandstone would break off causing the entire bridge to crumple. Always liking a city tour. Is there a River Tay brand of ale?

[@scotlandonashoestring]

That would make for an exciting episode but I think the locals may be a bit miffed :)

[@alanlister8810]

Have we already had" Doofus "as word of the week?

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Don’t think so it’s just one of Dizzys favourite words!

[@sherrierollins3774]

I absolutely love how you slip in your anti colonization Remarks

[@scotlandonashoestring]

I doubt there’s a museum in the UK that doesn’t have something that the original owners may want back.

[@grapesodatravels]

I'm with Bex on Starbucks. I'd much rather give my money to an independent cafe (or at least someone who pays tax properly 🫣)
Bless De Niro. You can alway tell when a pet sleeps in a ridiculous position that they're so very happy! Well done you two for making that happen 👏
