Why is Scone significant in Scottish history?
Scone was a sort of unofficial capital of Scotland during the
12th century, and was the place where the Scottish kings were
crowned. They were crowned over a stone called the Stone of Scone,
which was built into the throne there. The Stone of Scone was,
according to the legends, the stone Joseph used as a pillow when he
dreamed the dream of the ladder with angels ascending and
descending, in the Biblical Book of Genesis. According to the
legend, Hebrews took the stone with them when they migrated to
Ireland, about the time when Judah was in the Babylonian captivity.
Later, it was moved to Scotland, where it was used as a coronation
stone by Fergus, the first king of Scots in Scotland.
