Inside The 1,000-Year-Old Palace Where The Scottish Kings Were Crowned

Scotland's Scone Palace, the crowning place of Scottish kings, is a site of immense historical significance. Scone was originally an early Christian church and monastery but became the ceremonial place for the coronation of Scottish kings since at least the 9th century. The Stone of Destiny, also known as the Stone of Scone, was used in the coronation of Scottish monarchs. It symbolized the king's divine right to rule and was central to the coronation ceremonies.
