Beschreibung

In 1950, Ian Robertson Hamilton, a law student, took the Stone of Destiny from beneath the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey, leading to the outrage of the English establishment. This book sets down the chain of events which led to his decision to go to London, remove the Stone and a minute-by-minute account of the act and the aftermath.

Portrait

Ian R Hamilton, best known for his part in the repatriation of the Stone of Destiny, was one of Scotland's most prominent lawyers, famously refusing to swear allegiance to Queen Elizabeth II arguing that she could only be referred to as Queen Elizabeth in Scotland. Born in Paisley in 1925, the son of a tailor, he studied law at Glasgow University where he first became politically active. He was a member of Glasgow University Scottish Nationalist Association and the Scottish Covenant Association, going on to stand as a Scottish Nationalist Party candidate and serve as Rector of Aberdeen University.
