Ash Regan, a challenger to replace Nicola Sturgeon as first minister, says the ancient artefact - also known as the Stone of Scone - should remain in its 'rightful place' north of the border and that, if it is used when Charles is crowned, an extra ceremony should take place in Scotland.
Earlier in the week, Mr Salmond, former first minister and Alba Party leader, urged the Scottish government to reject any request to send the stone out of the country.
Speaking to Sky News, Mr Salmond said:"In a context where the legitimate desire of the people of Scotland to at least have a referendum is being denied by the Westminster government, I don't really see why any Scottish government should just meekly say we'll give you back the property which you stole 700 years ago."
Asked if he would urge the winner of the SNP leadership race to keep the stone in Scotland, he added:"The authorities will probably whip it away before the contest is finalised, that's the kind of underhand trick where it was stolen in the first place."Sky News has announced a live TV debate with the three candidates in the race to be the next Scottish National Party leader and First Minister of Scotland.
Kate Forbes MSP, Humza Yousaf MSP and Ash Regan MSP will face questions from Sky News’ Political Editor Beth Rigby. The one-hour show will be aired on Monday March 13th at 8pm live from Edinburgh.
