Bring the Stone Home

That the Parliament welcomes the Bring the Stone Home campaign launched by The Courier to return the Stone of Destiny to its ancestral home in Perth; understands that Culture Perth and Kinross has published new details of how the Stone of Destiny could form the focal point of a refurbished Perth City Hall, due to open in 2022; notes the opening of a consultation on behalf of the Commissioners for the Safeguarding of the Regalia seeking the public’s views on the future location of the Stone of Destiny; recognises that Scotland’s national heritage strategy seeks to make the country's cultural heritage open to everyone, and that locating cultural artefacts outwith the central belt is an important factor in this; encourages the public to share their views via the consultation, and welcomes the opportunity to display the Stone of Destiny in a context as close to its original home in Scone as possible.
