Why this petition matters

Started by AJ Morton

The Stone of Destiny was irreverently concealed for centuries inside the c.1300AD wooden throne of the Kings of England, who then used the stolen Stone to pretend they were Kings of (then Independent) medieval Scotland between the 14th and 16th centuries. It wasn't returned to Scotland until the late 20th century. 

The Scottish stone will be taken from its Scottish home without Scotland's permission before every Coronation. The pre-Holyrood agreement to perpetually shift Scotland's greatest treasures to and from London for ritual use (not for research or study) during a record-breaking poverty crisis is in my view jawdroppingly archaic, but also incredibly and needlessly expensive, and could even damage or destroy the Stone. 

No matter where you are or where you come from, if you agree that the Stone should stay in Scotland, please add your name to the petition.
