SCONE — The peacocks at Scone Palace celebrated Thursday’s bright spells by spreading their tail feathers, strutting across the lawns and, according to staff, “being absolutely unbearable about it”.
“They’ve been sulking since August,” said a gardener. “Sun comes out for 47 minutes and they think they’re Beyoncé.”
