The Arlington may seem like any other Victorian-era pub in Glasgow at first glance, but it claims to be the home of a very treasured artefact dating back thousands of years. Its home was Scone Palace in Perth until 1296 when Edward I of England took the stone as a spoil of war. Edward brought the stone to Westminster Abbey, and it stayed there until only 73 years ago. It is believed that this was done when the students took the broken parts to a stonemason to be repaired – that as well as fixing the original, a copycat was created. Do you think it is the real Stone of Destiny?
