the Stone of Scone
the Stone of Scone [the Stone of Scone] BrE NAmE
a large stone that was the traditional seat on which the ancient kings of Scotland were crowned. It was used until 1296, when ↑Edward I had it brought to London and made into part of the ↑Coronation Chair. For many Scottish people it is an important national symbol, and they asked repeatedly for it to be returned. It was removed from ↑Westminster Abbey several times by Scottish people who thought that it should be kept in Scotland. In 1996 it was returned to Scotland and can be seen in ↑Edinburgh Castle.
