Not the real one but a replica of the stone that was used since 840AD in crowning ceremonies for Scots Kings, including Robert the Bruce and Macbeth. It was stolen by the English king, King Edward I in 1296 and taken to Westminster Abbey. There it stayed for 700 years until it was finally returned on St Andrews day in 1996.

Moot Hill is widely known as the crowning place of Scottish kings. The first monarch to be enthroned here was Kenneth MacAlpin in 843. It is Kenneth I who bought the Stone of Destiny to Scone, thus establishing it as the site of coronations in Scotland until 1296.

This is just a replica of the stone. The original is in Perth.
