Scone Palace's red sandstone battlements behind a striped green lawn

Tour the palace, stand on Moot Hill where Scottish kings were crowned, and try to find the middle of the star-shaped beech maze.

Why it's a good date: You get history and gardens in one trip, and the maze tends to get competitive. The palace is open spring to autumn, so plan it for the warmer months.
