086 | The village of Old Scone consists at present of only a few one storey dwellinghouses on both sides of the turnpike road, and these are comparative modern buildings. There is not a house remaining of the old village, which stood adjacent to the palace, its site being partly wooded, and partly ornamented ground. |

086 | "The village or 'royal city', of Scone was built in the immediate neighbourhood, and partly during the era of the monastery. One street was named the chanter gate. Near this street there were some trees that are said to have stood in the garden of the monastery. Among them were some remains of a wall. At the end of the chanter gate was the Gallows Knowe, and in another direction the prison-house, which would suggest that extensive rights were attached to the place. Some of the houses of the village, which had belonged to the Abbey, were appropriated to the courtiers who accompanied James VI., who is said to have been wont to come to Scone for the purpose of hunting. One house was called, at a comparatively recent period, the Earl of Errol's Stables. **** Part of a wall which stood between the palace and the village still remains, together with an ancient gateway."

I think this name should be written in Stump as the four houses are of Modern
date and that New Scone should be regarded as the principal village and written
in Roman Print. New Scone is a considerable village and it contains the parish Church
