More about this scene
Scone is, of course, associated with the Stone of Destiny. This measures 26x16x10 inches and is thought to have been a portable altar that once belonged to an early missionary from Iona or Ireland. The Stone, on which the kings were crowned, was brought here in 843, but was stolen by Edward I in 1296 and taken to England. It was supposed to be returned to Scotland under the terms of the Treaty of Northampton.
