I love this story about what happened to the Stone of Destiny after it was removed from Westminster Abbey in 1950. The police launched a massive manhunt searching for the prize artefact, but it was kept in the engineering workshop of Tam Smith, who didn’t bat an eyelid when a senior officer visited him. And he was later buried with a fragment of the Stone! #StoneofDestiny #TamSmith #KenLawton https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6328416/aberdeen-gp-grandfather-stone-of-destiny-hidden/
