Stone of Destiny? Pastry?

[starbkjrus]

Scone, pronounced SKON is for spreading with jam, butter or honey.
Scone, pronounced SKOON, of Stone of Destiny fame, is a suburb of Perth, and is where Perth Airport is situated.
No connection between the two as far as I'm aware.

I just happened to read an article about this the other day. The Stone of Destiny (a.k.a The Stone of Scone - pronounced skoon) is so called because the Scottish Monarchs were crowned at Scone Palace (Scone Abbey another source says) . The Stone itself was captured by Edward I in 1296 and taken to Westminster Abbey; reportedly so no more Scots kings could be crowned. John Major returned it to Scotland in 1996 where is resides along with the Honours of Scotland in Edinburgh Castle.

The Stone is still placed under the Coronation Chair when a British monarch is crowned.

No idea about the pastry but I HAVE made some that might make you think of the other.
