The real Stone of Scone supposedly came from Palestine via Ireland to Scotland & had carvings thereon. The Abbot of Scone is believed to have palmed-off Edward I with a substitute of local stone, completely unmarked, when he sacked the abbey & possibly it was the cover from the abbey's septic tank!

 Edward had a chair made for this rock & English kings have sat on it ever since. Significantly, king Robert the Bruce made no great effort to have it returned by Edward II. ;D

Is that why the two lads decided to sneak it back to Scotland (in two pieces)   :D

Aye Rena, it was repaired by a Mr Gray who had a stonemason's yard in Sauchiehall Street, he apparently made a few extra & whether the stone the students left to be discovered in Arbroath Abbey covered by a Saltire is one of them or the one from Westminster Abbey, nobody knows? ;D   Celebrated in a song "The Wee Magic Stane!"  Where is the real stone? that is the question!


Bests,
Skoosh.
