The Coronation Chair and the Stone of Scone - seized, bombed, hidden, stolen and returned

Thank you for this detailed and interesting history. I had no idea the suffragette movement were contemporary terrorists.

Way back in the '50's and '60's, my father belonged to some book club, that brought him a mail-delivered book each month. One of those was a book written by one of the young Scots who'd stolen the Stone. Another was a book written by the Duchess of Windsor on her adventures, including the visit she and the Duke made to Germany to be feted by Hitler.

Both fascinating stories, no doubt.

The Scots fought the English, not the British. Pedantry is what I do.

Yes - sorry. Sometimes the words don't come out quite right - but I do try!
