Scotlands Stone of Destiny is the most famous symbol of both Scottish nationhood and the British monarchy. Nick Aitchison has produced a fully updated, researched and illustrated study of its history, mythology and cultural significance.Having first traced the origin, evolution and function of myths surrounding the Stone and the ancient prophecy that gives the Stone its name, Aitchison examines the Stone itself its appearance, geology and source and reveals the Stones original function and the origins of its symbolic sanctity.
