This is Perth Museum's own institutional record, the museum's account of its 2024 reopening as the permanent home of the Stone of Destiny, the traditional Scottish coronation stone. As the holding institution's own record it is the correct source for its current custody, display and the museum's own account of the stone's return to Perth. Its limit is that it is the museum's own presentation, not an independent historical study of the stone's medieval history or the disputed question of whether the stone at Westminster across the centuries was always the same object, so a claim resting on that deeper history needs a specialist source.

Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Custodial/institutional self-account (a museum's own record of its holdings). Museums and other institutional self-accounts sit at tier 2, not tier 1 or tier 3; tier 3 is reserved for a tradition's own account of its own teachings and practice. NotesPerth Museum's own custodial record for the object it holds. A standing institutional or private-holder record, not a scholarly publication; use for provenance and holding-institution facts, not for the object's own history or meaning.
