Stone of Destiny Returns to Scotland

On November 14, the historic Stone of Scone, on which the Kings of Scotland were traditionally crowned, was returned to Scotland at the place where it was brought to England by Edward Longshanks in 1296, the bridge crossing the River Tweed in Coldstream. The Stone had been placed under the throne in Westminster Abbey, London, where English monarchs were crowned, since the thirteenth century.

Representatives of the Scottish Nationalist Party have hailed the return of the Stone as furthering their movement to make Scotland an independent country. In an address on behalf of the SNP, Sean Connery said that the return of the stone was only a beginning and that more than symbols, Scotland needed real power and a real parliament.

Alex Salmond, leader of the Scottish National Party, is also calling for a return of the Isle of Lewis ivory chessmen, found in last century and taken to England, and the Book of Deer, a land register like the Domesday Book, that was "pinched" by the English, probably in 1296, the same year that the Stone of Destiny was removed from Scone and taken south.

I understand I was the subject of a senior staff meeting.
