Such a brilliant quote. He should have spoken the whole of it though. My favourite line of said quote is the first line which reads: 'As long as but 100 of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule'... Alba Gu Brath!
If I were Scottish, I think I would have done the same too! I am English for my sins, but admire anybody who has a passion for their heritage. I was staring at this very stone last week in Edinburgh Castle and feel it is now in its rightful place, preserved in a glass case and visited by countless thousands of people who all appreciate the history it holds. There is a deal done, that it has to be taken back to London for any future coronation . . . but will the next English monarch really demand this? I sincerely hope they don't!
I have a deep respect for Mr.Hamilton. The determination and audacity of those guys must be an example not only for Scotland, but for the entire world. I will always remember and respect the Stoneriders, and may Scotland and all humanity shall be sovereign. Saor Alba, always.
You can tell the Scottish police men are embarrassed to be taking it away. As they should be. It's absolutely criminal that it was stolen AGAIN, and spent another 40 years in England.. In any case, God bless the Scottish patriots who brought it home 🙏
Why the fuck did we give it back down there after these brave guys sacrificed their christmas, time and energy to go and get it? The police should have went down and got it themself not given it back. Fair play to the 4 brave men who went down to get it!
3 men and 1 woman. Ian Hamilton, Gavin Vernon, Alan Stuart and Kay Matheson. And Yes the stone should have been left where it belongs: Scotland. It wasn't a theft, it was a repossession that was long overdue. :)
Exactly, but the real question is was it the real one they returned? Was it even the real one that was taken in 1950? Was it even the real one that was taken from Scone?
The stolen Stone of Scone was recovered from Westminster Abby on Christmas Day 1950 ! On the Dead Sea Scroll's solar calendar, after the Vernal Equinox starting the next Biblical Year, it was placed on the altar in the ruins of Arbroath Abbey on the 11th April 1951. With a 21st March Vernal Equinox that year, this means that the Stone of Scone was placed on the altar of Arbroath Abby on the last seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread: a Holy High Day ! So in the same BIBLICAL year: • 1951 was 3400 years and the 68th Jubilee after the Exodus from Egypt ! (Working with a 4BC birth of Christ) • Before the next Vernal Equinox King George VI died on the 6th of February 1951. • Queen Elizabeth II immediately ascended the throne - although only later coronated. i.e. The Stone of Scone was recovered in the Jubilee 7x7 49th year of 1950, and later placed on the High Altar of Arbroath Abby on the seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread - in the Jubilee 50th year of 1951 ! The Declaration of Scottish Independence drafted at Arbroath Abby and dated the 6th April 1320, was also in the midst of the Feast of Unleavened Bread: The vernal equinox was the 20th March that year and the 7th April was the 4th day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread that year: the day of Christ’s resurrection on the Biblical annual calendar. So 631 years later (6+3+1=10), on the last 7th Day of Unleavened Bread, being a High Day, the Stone of Scone was placed on the High Alter in the ruins of that very same Arbroath Abby, wrapped in the “Saltire” or “Saint Andrews Cross” - the national flag of Scotland. Saint Andrew was the brother of Peter, and also an apostle and disciple of Christ. In the 1320 “Declaration of Arbroath” the Scott’s claimed to be Israelites who migrated from Egypt to Spain to Ireland and then to Scotland ! Legend has it that the Stone of Scone would sometimes groan when a king was crowned on it. It is now apparent that the Stone of Scone had a flaw in it. It had a faint fracture that could be the cause of the noise when some weightier kings were crowned sitting on it: the fracture gradually progressed further and further under the weight and hence the “groans”. When it was removed from beneath the coronation throne in Westminster Abby on Christmas Day 1950, it finally broke into two pieces in the process. The smaller piece was secretly returned to Scotland almost immediately and the larger piece was returned sometime later. Once re-assembled and re-enforced into the semblance of one stone, it was placed on the alter as described above. When it was later back in Westminster Abby, Queen Elisabeth II was coronated on a broken Stone of Scone - what is the significance and implication of that as we see history unfold ???. ...
The Declaration of Arbroath - a declaration by the descendants of a bunch Norman carpet baggers who were bribed by a Scottish king to come and subdue Scotland by imposing Norman style feudalism on it - and Scotland suffers from that till this day. Bruce and his gang were only interested in freedom for themselves, the Scots were to be serfs. Four hundred years after the Declaration of Arbroath, which states that if their king didn't defend their independence from England they would replace him, the descendants of this gang sold Scotland to England - "what a parcel of rogues." Now we have another parcel of rogues in Scotland in the form of the SNP who want independence from England so that they can sell Scotland to the EU.
Most of that was ok. The last part was nonsense. EU is just a collection of rules and laws all countries in teh club agreed on, including UK when it was in. You don't invest in your business then way away from your largest customers. Madness
@@casperwallace9685 - Since its foundation of what was then a Common Market its aim has been a United Europe. Just consider the progress it has made towards that aim since we jned in the early 70s, from Common Market to European Union. It may be meeting resistance from some of its members but the aim is still "an ever Closer Union" with its own foreign and economic policy and with its own military. Just read its history and see how it has steadily progressed towards that aim.
Alba Gu Brach - Ian Hamilton - never mind the QC, what the fuck does "Queen's Counsel" have to do with anything. They should have lodged the Stone in the keeping of the Bank Of Scotland.
Mr Hamilton has been asked about this and he confirmed it's not a copy. Because the stone is a symbol of Scotland it wouldn't make any difference if it was real or fake as it is the symbolism that matters.

That one at the castle is a fake. the real stone rests in the Arlington bar in Glasgow. This is a propaganda film. Fake news if you like.
Its not the real one
Lets see if Charles has the balls to annoy the Scots.
Pour la liberté et le respect de ses conviction, ça vaut toujours le coût! Bravo MONSIEUR H !
For as long as but 100 of us remain alive....

If someone steals something of yours, and you then steal it back, restoring it to it’s rightful owner... who is the REAL thief? 🤔
Why quotes from hitler lol
The person who stole something which was not rightfully theirs.
God Bless the four of you - SAOR ALBA

Bùrach The only law which was broken was the taking of it in the first place and by who, charge them with theft , that's our History.
Exactly, but the real question is was it the real one they returned? Was it even the real one that was taken in 1950? Was it even the real one that was taken from Scone?
aye that's the 64 thousand dollar question.
Common over admiralty, always and every way!
Merely glad that bit of history is over, though I feel the Stone should be in a Museum at the abbey in Scone
It's not over
why the subtitles hes perfectly clear in his speech oh "YES" in September by the way ha ha
It belongs to hill of tara in Ireland.
The stone had to be overturned 3 times. From Ireland to Scotland to England. It’s Prophecy

why is this hidden from the folk of scotland
It’s from Ireland … Tara … was there 1000 years
It's been carbon dated to a nearby Scottish quarry. Approx 1000 years old.
@@bri_____ they would say that wouldn't they 😂👍
I believe it is only on loan to Scotland, - It is supposed to go back to WM for the next corronation.
I heard that too, but will Charles be bold enough to annoy the Scots.
Ian you might want to drop to "Q.C.". You really don't need it!
What does that even mean? To me it's the province, because I live there, I don't know what else it means....
I think it isn't the real one.

It belongs in Ireland.
