It was already an unforgettable weekend but now the Scone Palace guest book has a permanent memento of Noel Gallagher’s visit – a friendly jibe calling it smaller than the cheeky singer’s house.
The musical legend wowed the crowds at BBC Biggest Weekend on Saturday, closing the show at the Perthshire estate with his High Flying Birds.
Known for his sarcasm, he did not disappoint when he stopped off to sign the visitor book inside the palace. He wrote: “A palace? My gaff’s bigger than this”, followed by his signature and two kisses.
Noel, who is married to Scottish publicist Sara MacDonald, closed the two-day music festival with a 90-minute set on Saturday evening. Hits from his current band, High Flying Birds, as well as Oasis songs and a cover of The Beatles ‘All You Need is Love’, prompted a mass sing-a-long from the crowd.
The event was hailed as a massive success by organisers and attendees, with 20,000 people descending on Scone Palace between Friday and Saturday -the biggest ever to be held at the venue.
It is hoped it will pave the way for future festivals at Scone.
