Old Photograph Stone Of Destiny Arbroath Abbey Scotland

Old photograph of the Stone of Destiny at the Abbey on ancestry visit to Arbroath, Angus, Scotland. King Edward I of England took the stone on which Scotland's kings were traditionally crowned from Scone in 1296 and placed it under the throne at Westminster Abbey in London. In 1950, a group of Scottish students took it from Westminster and, on April 11, 1951, the missing stone was found lying on the site of the altar at Arbroath Abbey.
