Awesome, I dream of visiting Scotland, and getting a peek at that Stone of Scone.

My sister got a peek in England before it got returned to Scotland.

I love the colors of the clan from which I come.

Haven't seen the Stone, though we did have a quick tour of Scotland a few years back. And we will return, if only in the off-season when they apologise for the wet drippy weather and we tell them, "We're from Seattle -- It's just like home!"

Off the subject, but I once met a (by that time a bit elderly) lady who was a member of a Scottish group that "kidnapped" the Stone, I think back in the 50's. Don't remember the details (she'd been part of an at the time considered "radical" Scots independence group) but after she told me that I felt an instant rapport and quite a lot of respect for her. I'm planning my first visit to Scotland next year and Edinburgh Castle (where I believe the Stone now resides) will be one of the stops.
