- The Stone of Scone will return to England for the first time in more than a quarter of century as it journeys to Westminster Abbey to play a role in the coronation of King Charles.
At Edinburgh Castle on Thursday a special ceremony was held to mark the legendary stone - which has become a symbol of Scottish nationhood - starting its journey south.
The procession was led by the Lord Lyon King of Arms - the monarch's representative in Scotland - and attended by First Minister Humza Yousaf in his capacity of Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland and one of the commissioners for the safeguarding of the regalia.

The Stone of Destiny is an ancient symbol of Scotland's monarchy, used for centuries in the inauguration of its kings. Seen as a sacred object, its earliest origins are now unknown. In 1296, King Edward I of England seized the stone from the Scots, and had it built into a new throne at Westminster. for the people that dont have a clue......
Ironically it was used by Scotland’s king once again.
Very true and fair to say. Would also like to point out, as seen in the video above, that the stone is in the pocession of Scotland and the Scottish people. Next Monday it will be used to crown the next king of Scotland - Scotland which is in a union with England, Wales and Nothern Island - after which point it will be returned to Scotland. :) No one needs to worry - Also quite sure that the people who lived during the theft of the stone by King Edward I are no longer stressing or sweating about it.
It was stolen from India.
@@honeybee3317 Charles is king of all 3 kingdoms. England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland so dynastically speaking, he is the current King of Scotland. the last "true" Scottish king to rule Scotland independently was James VI (later first of England) before he became James I of England. From then on subsequent monarchs would be king/queen of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Aka the United Kingdom
@@honeybee3317 A misbegotten freemarket attempt to alleviate the crisis. A consensus of historians reject the highly political "genocide" label.
Bagpipes never fail to give me goosebumps
I agree totally but there seems to be an overuse of bagpipes at various functions in society today, primarily for funerals. Nothing wrong with that, of course, as it's always very moving, but using the pipes has become something of a cliche', I guess. Whenever someone's pet is buried nowadays, out come the bagpipes! Just seems a little ridiculous. Used at weddings, too. Again, nothing wrong with that. As I said, I love listening to the pipes. However, seeing their prevalence everywhere for almost every event today, large or small, seems to lessen the thrill and/or the unique specialness of the pipes.
Headache
I have Scottish roots on my mother's side and bagpipes make my day. Love em. ❤
@@TheTwoFingeredBulldog Oh , hit a nerve have we Sweetpants ?
@Sean Delaney It must do, sounds worse than a saxophone.
Missed the opportunity to have 2 warrior scots carry it like the Stoltmans. Instead we have a rag tag crew that arent even balanced height wise
May have well been dressed in tee shirts, jeans and trainers! They looked scruffy.
Certainly, the Stoltman brothers who have brought so much credit to Scotland for their achievements
would have been ideal participants in this ceremony. From an Englishman who has witnessed their
extraordinary accomplishments in the international sporting arena!
@@neilfoster814 Plus they look like they don't even want to be there - like their parole officer said "do this or else...!"
what a rag tag mess they were. would have been better to have had soldiers to do this task...they would have known how to be in sync....
@@neilfoster814 ... and grumpy! Cor dear....
When The Queen passed, I got to see traditions played out that amazed and fascinated me. Now we are seeing another tradition I was not aware of being played out for the new monarcy. As an American I think it's a grand thing, and I hope the full cornation will be televised in the States.
James ; For selfish reasons, I really wish it wasn't, as evidenced when Americans like Ms Markle & Mrs Simpson have got involved with the Royal Family, as they bring to it dangerously ignorant notions of what our form of Government is. We have, for the most part, a socially cohesive Society whereby diverse groups of different races and religions co-exist together in relative peace with one another, the Coronation will demonstrate this. Ms Markle can keep her American game of "race-baiting" on her side of the Atlantic, as well as the American fixation of mass killings, particularly in schools, which seems to be the real National sport, supported and encouraged by both your main Political Parties. No, just watch the Kardashians.
This isn't a tradition. The Stone was previously held in Westminster Abbey. The Brits are great at making stuff up that looks ancient.
wow...
@@Marais1963 of course it’s tradition, what else is it and we don’t make things up , that’s what traitor Harry does along with the liar he married… in their back yard 3 days before their £ 33 million wedding !!!
Stuff the coronation and those parasites. Feed the poor!
The Stone of Destiny belongs in Scone, Perthshire, Scotland!
@Wendy Kinnear
Indeed it does, but it would be churlish to deny King Charles of its services.
It's being borrowed, not stolen! 🤨
I went to scone once, was sat in the tea room and couldn't work out what to say 😁 I wanted a scone from scone but was given a scon from scoon.
They returned it. Didn't they?
@@charleswatson1093 Why?
The history of the Stone of Scone is so great and was enhanced in 1950 when 4 Scottish students stole it back to Scotland in the name of Scottish nationalism adding more color to its history!

And yet they actually broke it in two while stealing it. I wouldn't be so proud of that!

Love how our European brothers and sisters cherish and protect their roots..🇺🇸 🇬🇧
I wish I could agree. But sadly so many young Brits seem to despise their roots and would rather replace them with nothing.
Scotland was never conquered by England. Edward I tried and failed, Edward II failed, the great Edward III lost his first battle, won another then took his wars to France. Not until King James VI of Scotland ascended to the throne of England did the two kingdoms unite. That stone, from Scone Abbey, was stolen by king Edward I and installed under the throne of St. Edward the Confessor as a sign of his domination. In 1950, Scottish students broke into West Minster Abbey and stole the stone back, it ended up in a field in Kent. Eventually in 1996, 700 years after it had been stolen by Edward I, the stone was given back to Scotland.
@@pierrebegley2746 They cant pull the wool over the eyes of the future generations or most generations NOT MY KING
Scotland should rid itself of the trappings of a useless and outdated monarchy and become it's own independent country!
We aren't European. We are British.
Why do the people carrying it look like they are dressed up for a run in bad weather?
Because they're in Scotland.
Because most Scots don’t really care for this. They voted for a party that wants a second referendum to leave the “union”, and I for one am with them.
The Weather is wet in Scotland just now.
Probably as a form of disrespect that it travels South. Or that those currently running Scotland slowly and inexorably into the ground have no limits to their shame
@@dangallagher5058 Probably
I think they should have been dressed formally and officially. They are carrying the Stone of Destiny after all.
I agree. They looked scruffy and like non entities. The stone should have been escorted out being carried by soldiers in full regalia. I don't get that at all.
@@ForceFreeTrainergirl06 the stone is a fake just like Charles
@@bevsputler5455 Huh????
It's just a piece of stone for goodness sake. Only lunatics are making a big deal out of a piece of a freaking stone. Lol
A shame it's not the dial if Destiny instead
A fascinating history attached to an old stone! Very cool to see this bit of history play out.
I wish that the coronation would be shown in American movie theaters like it was for the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. I'm American, but I've always been fascinated by the pomp and circumstance of the various British royal family ceremonies, (Helen Mirren's "The Queen" fed it, the "Queen Victoria" series, "Young Elizabeth", and of course, the films, "Elizabeth", and Elizabeth: The Golden Age", as well as much older films on the British Royal Family.
I'd rather watch it in the privacy of my home without nearby theater audience members chattering away during the broadcast.
I wish it were too, and everyone were forced to attend to remind us why we threw off the shackles of this primitive system of government.
If the coronation was shown in cinemas it couldnt be live.
It truly would be great if they did that. Who knows, perhaps some independent cinemas will do that.
@@kevin752 And the American system is sooo much better is it?!?! Trust me, we haaate the US style of democracy here in Europe. The US system is more of a plutocracy. Even with a monarchy, the UK by comparison is far more democratic.
I assume it’ll be brought back up faster than the last the last time it went for a visit down in England
And make sure ut goes back to scotland
@ Shirley Arthur 😂that was exactly my thought 😂! Of course, it was stolen by Edward I “Longshanks” in the first place! Nice to see it was 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 allowed to stay in Scotland 🏴 until they 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 needed it.

@@themadfarmer5207 lol Right?! Also for a king that I am sure they don’t care to pay allegiance to. The younger generations of Scots tolerated Queen Elizabeth out of respect for her age. I doubt that they will endure any other English monarch for as long.

The Stone is believed to be over 1000 years old.

Remember that Scotland was never conquered by England. That stone was the coronation stone of the kings of Scotland. It was stolen by Edward I in the 1290's, 700 years later it was officially handed by to Scotland. However in 1950, West Minster Abbey was broken into and the stone retrieved by Scottish students. England and Scotland only united after the king of Scotland became king of England. So in a way, the Scottish monarchy took over the English monarchy.. LOL

I just read about this stone and it's significance. I love learning about all kinds of history.
Great to see the First Minister doing his patriotic duty for his King 🙂
Why? Humza hates the king and monarchy. He's such a hypocrite.
@@davidventuresmedia he doesn't hate the individual who calls himself King, he doesn't even know him, he does not support the concept of the Monarchy but it would not be appropriate for him to make a protest about it by not participating in this silly Pantomime, when Scotland becomes independent the Uk Monarch will officially be known as The King Of England which is what he usually gets called anyway so many people won't notice that Scotland has got rid of the Monarch like many Commonwealth Countries are in the process of doing.
@@christoph404 Humza Is an imposter. NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS would the people of Scotland choose someone like that to lead them.
@@christoph404 Totally true 👍Besides, Scotland will be completely sovereign & that will help enhances its stability, prosperity & regional & global leadership.
Just be sure and get it back. It is a Scottish relic . N
Love our traditions
Historicsl accounts describe the stone as curved,carved and black. The scots knew edward was coming for the stone. Legend has it that the stone edward took was the cess pit lid of scone palace.
Yep, that's more or less what I've been told. The English are not using the actual stone.
👍🏻
Seeing Humza having to stand there and take it was satisfying AF.
He looks out of place.
Respect.
Whatever the case, it's good that the stone is supposed to be part of King Charles 👑 coronation! I'm a proud, black, Christian man who has lived in America all my life! But I've been a big fan of the royal family for years! The coronation 👑 I think is gonna a good, great and grand occasion! It's something that the UK probably needs after losing their proud, radiant, wonderful, awesome and beautiful queen 👑! Plus the UK has had other things that they've been dealing with. I can hardly wait, and will be glad! To see the crowning 👑 of King Charles lll and Queen Camilla 👑! It's gonna be a breathtaking, etc ceremony. I would love ❤️💜💛🖤🤎💙 to be able to come see it myself! Just to be outside in the crowd! That would probably be enough for me! Best wishes and God bless the new King Charles lll 👑 and Queen Camilla 👑! And the same goes for the UK, and every other lands around the world 🌏🌎🌍. That is subject to the king's 👑 ruling and authority.
Stone mason did a wonderful job putting it back together after it was taken back to Scotland if that is the right stone could have swapped it for another possibility
What a powerful moment!
For who ?? Sad moment in time where u support pedophiles and murders..
I believe Humza offered to transport the Stone of Scone in his newly acquired campervan!
Nah had it on his scooter
I hope they aren't walking it all the way there, that team will never make it....
Legend has it that this stone is where Jacob rested his head (called Jacob's Pillow) and had a dream where he saw angels descending up to heaven. I don't know where that got started or where the stone came from for that matter.
Geologists have proven that “Jacobs Pillow” is a myth because the stone originated in the UK.
angels do not descend up to heaven they ascend; depending of course what angles your referring to of course.
Really loved the selection of tunes chosen by PM David Muir, 3rd RRS.
He played his own "the Stone of Destiny" to get out of the Great Hall, but once in the courtyard he moved to "Wa' Saw the 42" which is a very nice touch to fully represent the Black Watch heritage - but also a little nod to all Scots listening to the tune......

Mary Queen of Scott’s lineage is the true royal family in England
And Charles is a direct descendant of Mary, Queen of Scots. He’s the senior Protestant descendant of Sophia, Electress of Hanover, so monarch by Act of Parliament. Sophia was the daughter of Elizabeth Stuart, who was the daughter of James the VI of Scotland, First of England.

The stone of destiny? I don't recall this Harry Potter novel
This is being done to honour the Scots as the Welsh cross will be used to honour the Welsh .. I’m not sure if there will be an Irish symbol. Charles will be crowned King of Scots. His mother was referred to as Queen of Scots
every monarch for centuries has been crowned above this stone, nothing to do with honouring the Scots, it is simply tradition
@@leebaird8866 And for centuries before it was stolen by Edward I, it was used for the Coronations of the Scottish Kings! Don't forget that when the English Queen Elizabeth Tudor died with no heirs, her closest relative was King James VI of Scots, who then became also King James I of England.
🤣🤣🤣no he won't.
His mother was Elizabeth.
Not Mary queen of scots!
His mother Queen if Scots... I don’t think so.

It’s the stone of destiny, a stone used for centuries for the crowning of Scottish kings, it was stolen by the english King Edward I, before being returned to Scotland, and now it is used to crown British kings and queens :-)
Celtic tribal tradition often placed importance on sacred stones that could supposedly identify the true king from a false claimant. The Arthurian legends of the sword in the stone and the Siege Perilous have their foundation in these beliefs.
This is impressive! I wish I were in London to see the carriages carrying the new Queen/King and senior royals!
