An underlying plot of my books is the following of the trail of legendary ‘The Stone of Destiny‘ which has a long history that still exists today. This powerful stone was said to have been used during the appointments of the Clan Chieftains by King Arthur. During the middle ages, this stone was fought over by Norway, France, Scotland, Ireland and England for it’s powers to name future kings and provide a touching point that could reach into the unseen and open a gateway into heaven so monarch’s could hear the voice of wisdom required to rule the Hebrides in peace. Hiding out at Eilean Donan, Scotland’s Robert the Bruce was forced to surrender the stone to King Edward of England. The Stone of Destiny resided under the throne at West Minister Abbey in England until 1996,when it was finally returned to Scotland.
But – it was said Robert the Bruce never gave England the real stone, but a fake. Instead of delivering the Stone of Destiny, Robert ordered the monks deliver England a cap stone for a sewer hole. The Irish call it the ‘Blarney Stone’.
The real stone was said to have remained hidden inside the castle Eilean Donan nestled in the highlands of Scotland and seat of the MacKenzie Clan. This where my story begins.
