Stone of Destiny return case made

Stone of Destiny guardians have been urged to return the ancient treasure to Perth from its current display at Edinburgh Castle.

The case to reclaim the coronation stone was made to Scottish Government officers during a tour of its prospective city hall home. A delegation representing the Commissioners of the Regalia — the group responsible for the stone’s safe-keeping — made a fact-finding mission to the Fair City to hear how the artefact could become the centrepiece of a £20 million new arts hub.
