Tour Scotland Photograph And Video Stone of Destiny Scone Palace

Tour Scotland photograph of the Stone of Destiny by Scone Palace, Perthshire, Scotland. The actual Stone of Scone, also commonly known as the Stone of Destiny or the Coronation Stone is an oblong block of red sandstone. The top bears chisel-marks. At each end of the stone is an iron ring, apparently intended to make transport easier. Historically, the artifact was kept at the now-ruined abbey in Scone, near Perth, Scotland. It was used for centuries in the coronation of the monarchs of Scotland, the monarchs of England, and, more recently, British monarchs. Other names by which it has sometimes been known include Jacob's Pillow Stone and the Tanist Stone.
