Destiny stone to stay put
THE Stone of Destiny will not be moved back to Scone Palace in Perthshire despite the change to an SNP administration, it was confirmed yesterday.
Tory MSP Murdo Fraser has been campaigning for it to be returned from Edinburgh Castle and hoped for support from the Executive.
But he was told by culture minister Linda Fabiani that it was solely a matter for the Queen - advised by the Commissioners for the Safekeeping of the Regalia.
