Really, my ignorance on matters contemporary is monumental.
But please someone, tell me why Kay Mathieson should rest in peace?
Not that the majority of the citizens of this country, or any other, should share this outcome, but why single out KM for this treatment?
Kay Matheson is a Scottish Nationalist heroine since she was one of the gang which stole the Stone of Destiny from Westminster Abbey.
The great irony is it is very unlikely that the Stone they took was the original Jacob's Pillow/Stone of Destiny from Scone Abbey but a meaningless replacement for the original. The monks of Scone would have had plenty of warning of Edward's approach and intentions and it is unthinkable that they would not have hidden the real Stone and put out another for Edward to loot when he arrived.
The location of the real Stone of Destiny is a secret kept by the Ruthven family.
