I'm a wee bit surprised (yes, I used wee in a sentence) that the Blarney Stone hasn't worked its way in here yet.

Speaking of stones, I had an attack about 6 weeks ago...talk about crying out to God! lol...

While you are at it, do a search on Liafail and also on Jacob's Pillar Stone.

After you do some research, ask yourself why the kings and queens of the UK are coronated sitting on this rock.

Yes i have read the folk law tales that the stone of scone is Jacob's pillar stone and that it has made it's way to the England many centuries ago. But i would be more likely a manufactured tale to add weight to the legitimacy of the English monarchy. And lets face it people love ripping yarns like these. I have no doubt that the stone is very old and probably has been used for many centuries to crown Scottish and English kings. More likely it comes from an old druid pagan ceremony rather than Jewish.
