Dear Fellows,

Professor Sally Foster FSAScot has alerted us to the recent publication of two works of original research on the Stone of Destiny which may be of interest. Both are journal articles which are free to access online, linked below.

FOSTER, Sally, 2025. ‘Life in pieces: lessons in the value of fragments from the secret lives of the Stone of Scone/Destiny’, Antiquaries Journal 105: 325-358 (Read HERE).

Please reach out to fellowship@socantscot.org with recent publications on the subject of Scotland’s past which you would like to promote among our Fellowship.

Many thanks,
