EDITORS COMMENTS
The Stone of Scone, also known as the Stone of Destiny, is a revered and historic artifact deeply rooted in the customs and traditions of both Scotland and England. This photograph, taken circa 1845, captures the Stone in its former position beneath the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey, London. The Stone of Scone has been a significant part of the coronation ceremonies of English and British monarchs since the 13th century. The Stone, believed to have been used in the inauguration of ancient Scottish kings, was taken by English soldiers in 1296 and transported to England, where it was placed beneath the Coronation Chair. For over 700 years, it remained in England, witnessing the coronations of numerous monarchs. However, the Stone's Scottish origins were not forgotten, and the desire for its return to Scotland grew stronger over time. In 1950, four young Scottish nationalists stole the Stone from Westminster Abbey and smuggled it back to Scotland. The Stone was subsequently returned to England in 1951 following an investigation, but the incident fueled renewed interest in Scottish independence and the Stone's historical significance. This photograph provides a glimpse into a time when the Stone of Scone was still a part of English coronation traditions, before its controversial removal and eventual return to Scotland. The Stone continues to be a powerful symbol of Scottish heritage, and its complex history is a testament to the enduring ties between Scotland and England.
