Home > Stone of Destiny

Two different historical stones are each known as the Stone of Destiny. Despite this and their similar connections to monarchial tradition, they come from two distinct European cultures, and each possesses a unique formal name:

The Stone of Scone was formerly the coronation throne of the Monarchs of Scotland. Later it was taken to London, it is now returned to Scotland. The Stone of Scone is a flat square stone, able to be inserted in the base of St. Edward's Chair (the coronation throne) in Westminster Abbey.

The Lia Fáil is a larger obelisk or monolithic type stone in Ireland. It was thought to be endowed with magical qualities, and was used in the coronation of the Irish Kings.
