The Coronation Stone is a historical book written by William Forbes Skene, first published in 1869. The book is a detailed account of the history and significance of the Stone of Destiny or the Coronation Stone, which is a symbol of Scottish monarchy. The Stone of Destiny is believed to be the stone on which Scottish kings were crowned and it has a rich and fascinating history. Skene’s book explores the origins of the stone, its significance in Scottish history, and the various legends and myths associated with it. The book also delves into the controversies surrounding the stone, including its theft by Edward I of England in the 13th century and its eventual return to Scotland in 1996. Skene’s work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Scottish history, royal traditions, and the cultural significance of the Stone of Destiny.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
