Advantages: Gentle comedy Disadvantages: A bit twee in parts
The Stone Of Destiny is the film account of the story of the rescue of the Stone Of Destiny. The stone, also known as the Stone of Scone, is symbolic as it was used to crown Scottish monarchs. It was stolen from Scone by Edward the first in 1296 and has been used in the coronation of British monarchs ever since. Many saw its location as a symbol of Scottish oppression and appealed for the stone to be brought home again but powers that be insisted that it stay put.

As recently as the 1950s, Scotland was referred to by England as North Britain. There was a fledgling movement wanting a parliament for Scotland, to give us our freedom and pride back, but a lot of Scots were made to feel like second class citizens and the Scottish National Party was still developing its ideology. Then along came a group of Glasgow University students who decided it was time to stop talking and start doing. So they did the obvious thing, and reclaimed the Stone of Scone from Westminster Abbey and brought it home to Scotland.
A little bit of history to give you some context if you don't know: the Stone of Scone, also known as the Stone of Destiny, is the ancient coronation stone ...
