Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 37: July 1, 1902
It is said that David, Saul, Solomon, and all the rest of the kings of Israel were crowned upon this stone.
The tradition runs that later the stone was carried into Egypt and from there found its way to Spain. By about 700 B. C. It had reached the hill of Tara, Ireland, and about 320 B. C. Fergus I. Transported it to the west of Scotland. In 840 A. D. It was removed by King Kenneth to Scone, Scotland, after which for many years it was called the stone of Scone. During its long stay at this place the following ancient prophecy was engraved upon it.
