There’s an old joke in Scotland that the best Christmas songs are Songs of the Stone – about the recovery, on Christmas Day 1950, of Scotland’s Stone of Destiny from Westminster Abbey.

Let me share with you the story and some of these songs 🧵

The #StoneOfDestiny or Stone of Scone on which King Charles wants to sit is an ancient remnants of Scottish Gaelic culture. The King of Scots was the 'father' to his tribe, not king of 'the land'.

Not surprisingly the plan to take the #StoneOfDestiny back to #London for the #coronation - which was always a part of the deal to move it back to #Scotland in 1996 - is causing some controversy.

Whilst it was the ancient place where Scottish monarchs were crowned, that stopped after 1296 when King Edward I of England took it as a spoil of war, and had it put into the Coronation chair used for English and after the Union of the Crowns British Monarchs ever since.

Scotland may not send the ‘Stone of Destiny’ to England for the coronation, saying it "belongs in its rightful place." I suspect EGYPT might have some thoughts on that.
