Outing to Scone Palace & Gardens - Thursday 9 June 2022

 Forty three of us met on Waterloo Place for our outing to Scone Palace. We collected another two of our number at Inverkeithing then headed (or so we thought) to Dobbie's at Dunfermline for our coffee stop and to pick up our final member.

Unfortunately the driver hadn't been told that we were going to Dobbie's and drove on past the turn. Two of the committee kept him right and despite Dobbie's not having knowledge of our booking (they'd put it in their diary for 9 July!) we safely collected Bob and had our coffee.

After that, we headed to Scone and everything was fine, including the weather. We all went into the palace and were given a talk about two of the rooms. Everyone then went off on their separate ways. I'm told that four folk went into the maze and got a bit lost. They included our cheque book holder!

The meal at the Royal George was good and apparently the meringues were amazing.
