Coronation Chair
It was probably the stone on which the kings of Ireland were inaugurated on the hill of Tara. It was removed by Fergus, son of Eric, to Argyleshire, and thence by King Kenneth (in the ninth century) to Scone, where it was enclosed in a wooden chair. Edward I. transferred it to Westminster.
The tradition is, “Wherever this stone is found, there will reign some of the Scotch race of kings.” (See Scone.)
