William Forbes Skene was a Scottish historian who delved into Celtic philology and literature. His chief work, the three-volume Celtic Scotland, is regarded as one of the most important contributions to 19th-century Scottish history. He also published key historical chronicles and explored the origins and antiquities of the Scottish Highlands.




The Coronation Stone is a fascinating account of Scotland's most important royal relic, the Stone of Destiny. William F. Skene traces the stone's origins from its mythical beginnings to the present day, telling the story of how it has been used in the coronation of Scotland's kings and queens for centuries. This book is an absorbing exploration of Scotland's history and culture, and its enduring fascination with this ancient symbol of power and legitimacy.
