" Hundreds of people have backed a petition for the Stone of Destiny to stay in Scotland after it was confirmed that it will be moved from Edinburgh Castle to London for the coronation of the new King. The historic artefact resides in the Crown Room at Edinburgh Castle, having been formally returned to Scotland in 1996 by John Major’s Tory government in an unsuccessful bid to appease rising support for devolution. It had been removed from Scotland in August 1296 by the English forces of King Edward I, Longshanks, and subsequently placed in the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey.  No date has yet been announced for the coronation ceremony of Charles III. But a spokeswoman for Historic Environment Scotland (HES) confirmed: “HES staff will move the Stone of Destiny to Westminster Abbey in advance of the Coronation and then return it to Scotland.” "
