Scone Palace (S01E02)

Mary travels to Scone Palace, the historic site where Scottish kings were crowned and a cornerstone of Scotland's rich heritage. There, she’s invited by Lady Mansfield to assist with preparations for a special dinner featuring traditional Scottish dancing, reminiscent of the times when Prince Albert and Queen Victoria enjoyed similar events. Mary delights in salmon fishing along the family’s private stretch of the River Tay and participates in Highland deer stalking alongside William, the future Earl of Mansfield, and the estate's long-time gamekeeper. Drawing inspiration from the palace's royal legacy, Mary crafts classic Scottish dishes in the estate kitchen, such as venison wellington, cock-a-leekie soup, and cranachan.
