The 'Stone of Destiny' is regarded as a sacred, historic symbol of Scotland’s monarchy and nationhood. And now it's headed to London for King Charles' coronation.
Also known as the Stone of Destiny and regarded as a sacred, historic symbol of Scotland’s monarchy and nationhood, it is being moved from its permanent home at Edinburgh Castle for the first time in more than 25 years, Historic Environment Scotland said.
It was removed from the castle on Thursday in a ceremonial procession involving Joseph Morrow, the Lord Lyon King of Arms and the monarch’s representative in Scotland, along with Scotland’s First Minister Humza Yousaf, in his role as the Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland, HES said. The stone’s origins are unknown, but it was believed to have been used in the inauguration of Scottish kings as far back as the early 9th century.
That chair has since been used in the coronation ceremonies of English and British monarchs since Henry IV in 1399.
