SCONE - Search For The Stone Of Destiny

- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- The Stone of Destiny. Also known as The Stone of Scone. A stone whose origins are unknown, stretching far back into the mists of time with wafts of Jacob's Pillow in the biblical Book of Genesis, or perhaps attributed to the High Kings of Ireland. Whatever its origins, make no mistake, this is a very special stone.
Used in the crowning ceremony of all Scotland's Kings from the 9th to the 13th century, this is Scotland's stone. It once sat on Moot Hill by Scone Palace not far from Perth, itself once the capital of Scotland. The 42 Scottish Kings crowned here include Scotland's very first King, Kenneth MacAlpin, who united, through war, the Scots and the Picts to create the Scotland that we know today.
But then King Edward I of England stole it.
During the first War of Scottish Independence King Robert the Bruce was crowned at Scone, but without the Stone of Destiny, which lay in Westminster Abbey. It lay there for many hundreds of years.
But then we stole it back.
In 1950 it was taken from Westminster Abbey by Scottish Nationalists and returned to Scotland. At that time, a number of exact copies of the stone were made. To this day, it is not clear which of the copies is the real Stone of Destiny.
Moved recently from Edinburgh Castle, The Stone of Scone, or Stone of Destiny, has now been moved to Perth's new museum, where it is on display for all to see.
But is it the real Stone of Destiny?
With a blend of humour and fact, Ed briefly tells the story, visiting Moot Hill in the grounds of Scone Palace, Perth, and in the end reveals the true location of The Stone of Destiny, on display for all to see.
For the King.
Thoroughly entertaining and ye can sing as well, thanks Eddie for some good old fashioned fun🤠
Thanks Guys.
Absolutely loved this ❤️ 🏴
Thanks for sharing
We visited Scone Palace in November, we had a great day out.
I (Jo ) tried to pull the sword out and it definitely moved more than it should have 😂😂😂😂
We've just discovered your channel so looking forward to following your adventures 😊
Hope you're having a good week
Morgs Jo and Boo 🐕 ❤
Thanks guys. I didn't want to tug at the sword too much in case it did actually come out and I've have to spend the rest of my days as a knight. 👍
Thanks for sharing this with us, really enjoyed it, and especially loved the song ,
Thank you.
I was sniggering at your story about the scone-making. Thankfully, you came clean in the end. Clever introduction to your song, addressing the Tree. I am surprised to learn that you'd recorded that song five years ago, because it sounded to me as if it was hot off the DAW this week. Your voice and the sentiment of the song are quite lovely. You could be singing to anyone or anything, which is magic, because it still feels 'romantic' and poignant. Now, we are left wondering if the real Stone of Destiny is in the Arlington Bar.....
Thanks Eilean. When I hear my voice in that song I know my sinuses are blocked and probably because of tree fever. But it's a funny thing how a little bit of phlegm can alter the voice for the better. I'm in tune and everything! Maybe trees have something going for them after all!
I absolutely love your videos and content. Oh how my heart yearns to return to Scotland!!! Thank you for all you do to share such brilliant material. All the best to you, and Cheers!!!
Many thanks Travis. 👍
Many years ago I had a conversation with the late Nigel Tranter, historian and writer. He was convinced that the stone that Edward I of England appropriated wasn’t the actual Stone of Destiny and that the monks had hidden it long before Longshanks men reached Scone. According to Tranter, to placate the English the Abbot of Scone had substituted a large stone slab that had covered a privy or water channel. A monastic man with a wry sense of humour.
Yes, it's a very plausable story, and highly likely. Which begs the question: where is the real Stone of Destiny? If the biblical version is true then I think it may have been described as black in colour.
@@EdExploresScotland I just love the idea that every King of England, has been enthroned sitting above a cess pit cover.
This is high quality stuff.I Love Scotland
Thank you.
RUclips didnt tell me about this one i just seen it now darn RUclips kick kick oooh good video aboot tha stone...
Always enjoy your travels done in a relaxing manner with bit of fun and music. I haven’t been to Scone for years must go again. Like Perth for a walk round too.
Yes, Perth's always worth a visit. Some cracking architecture.
Another interesting and entertaining video thanks Ed. You certainly had a nice day. There certainly is so much history connected to Scone. My wife and I visited Scone palace back in 2015. We had a beautiful day exploring the grounds and walking through parts of the palace. Oh yes, and we had lunch in the tea room. Unfortunately I can't remember if there were scones on the menu or not haha.
Great music, thanks again Ed.
Cheers Bryce.
Thanks for another lovely video, you certainly had luck with the weather on that day.
Btw can you just confirm for my wife that when you do those shots of you walking off into the distance you don't have to walk all the way back to collect the camera but instead have a bit of string tied to the camera and you just real it in.
Ha ha ha!
Yes, it's string. Invisible string, of course.
I wondered if you have cameras left set up in popular places round the country🤔
Smashing little video, yet again
Cheers Ly.
Another great video..😁
Thank you 🤗
Enjoyed that Ed, especially the lyrics....very Peart like
Many thanks.
Whaaaaat no Pie ,no Sandwich. Come on Ed .
The Scone of Destiny. My mother had the recipe.
Keep up the good work Ed, lovely B-roll to go with interesting stories.
Thanks Tim.
Thanks Ed, another great video.
Cheers Danny.
Hi Ed! I love watching Your videos, great attention to details and very educational. I wonder if You ever had an opportunity to walk from Loanhead to Penicuik through Roslin? It's a great little walk with many nice spots on it's way, including Bilston Glen Viaduct, Battle of Roslin Monument, Roslin War Memorial, Rosslyn Chapel, Rosslyn Castle, Ruins of Gunpowder Factory and many many more. All the best and greetings from Poland.
Thank you. Had my eye on that area for a while. Maybe this year.
The ‘Scone’ of Destiny?
Great video, good to see you Oot’n’Aboot again & I have to tell you I love the song/music on this video. Excellent 👍🏼
Cheers Graham. I'm not sure what recording set-up I was using back in 2019, but it just sounds way better than anything I can make now. Why, I simply do not know.
the Bucky bomb for £2 at the end looked a good deal.😊
Hi Ed,
Enjoyed this video and as always a good history lesson!
Love the music. You did a great job. Thanks so much.
Lynn in Naples FL 🌞
Cheers Lynn.
Great work Ed! I love the music and lyrics also. Is it yourself playing and singing?
Thanks Matty. Yes, the song's one of my own, playing and singing, going back to 2019. I was going through some old material and reckoned it was no' bad. Sometimes you don't recognise good stuff at the time of creating it, and it's only many months or years later that fresh ears hear it properly.
@@EdExploresScotland Excellent, you have a great voice :)
Iam having a wee drum of whiskey for honor your video there Eddie. What are the best months to visit your country to avoid the tourism you think? Coming next month but like you I would like more to enjoy the beautiful nature there in Scotland. I also love you sing, do you do it any heavier?
Cheers Chia. Best time of year to avoid too many tourists would be Winter, but in Winter many visitor aattractions are closed. But, of course, the countryside is open.
@@EdExploresScotland I would love to visit Scotland in winter. I live in Nordic country so Iam not scared of rain, sleet and snow and cold weather.. Coming to Scotland next month and doing Great Glen Way. Most than see other tourists I like to talk with the locals and learn about their life. Cheers from Finland from a Finn. of Ostro Bothnia.
Enjoy the walk.

The stolen Stone of Scone was recovered from Westminster Abby on Christmas Day 1950 ! On the Dead Sea Scroll's solar calendar, after the Vernal Equinox starting the next Biblical Year, it was placed on the altar in the ruins of Arbroath Abbey on the 11th April 1951.
With a 21st March Vernal Equinox that year, this means that the Stone of Scone was placed on the
altar of Arbroath Abby on the last seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread: a Holy High Day !
So in the same BIBLICAL year:
• 1951 was 3400 years and the 68th Jubilee after the Exodus from Egypt ! (Working with a 4BC birth of Christ)
• Before the next Vernal Equinox King George VI died on the 6th of February 1951.
• Queen Elizabeth II immediately ascended the throne - although only later coronated.
i.e. The Stone of Scone was recovered in the Jubilee 7x7 49th year of 1950, and later placed on the High Altar of Arbroath Abby on the seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread - in the Jubilee 50th year of 1951 !
The Declaration of Scottish Independence drafted at Arbroath Abby and dated the 6th April 1320, was also in the midst of the Feast of Unleavened Bread:
The vernal equinox was the 20th March that year and the 7th April was the 4th day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread that year: the day of Christ’s resurrection on the Biblical annual calendar.
So 631 years later (6+3+1=10), on the last 7th Day of Unleavened Bread, being a High Day, the Stone of Scone was placed on the High Alter in the ruins of that very same Arbroath Abby, wrapped in the “Saltire” or “Saint Andrews Cross” - the national flag of Scotland.
Saint Andrew was the brother of Peter, and also an apostle and disciple of Christ.
In the 1320 “Declaration of Arbroath” the Scott’s claimed to be Israelites who migrated from Egypt to Spain to Ireland and then to Scotland !
Legend has it that the Stone of Scone would sometimes groan when a king was crowned on it. It is now apparent that the Stone of Scone had a flaw in it. It had a faint fracture that could be the cause of the noise when some weightier kings were crowned sitting on it: the fracture gradually progressed further and further under the weight and hence the “groans”.
When it was removed from beneath the coronation throne in Westminster Abby on Christmas Day 1950, it finally broke into two pieces in the process.
The smaller piece was secretly returned to Scotland almost immediately and the larger piece was returned sometime later.
Once re-assembled and re-enforced into the semblance of one stone, it was placed on the alter as described above.
When it was later back in Westminster Abby, Queen Elisabeth II was coronated on a broken Stone of Scone - what is the significance and implication of that as we see history unfold ???.. ..,, .
😂😮🍜🏴
Well finally someone with the courage to set the History of the Scone right!👀
