This is Historic Environment Scotland's own custodial record for the Stone of Destiny, the public body responsible for the artifact's conservation, catalogue record and public interpretation. As the holding institution's own standing record it is authoritative for provenance and custody facts. Its limit is that it is an institutional record rather than a scholarly publication, so a claim about the Stone's contested early medieval history, or the debate over whether the stone now displayed is the original object used in Scottish coronations, needs a separate scholarly source engaging that question rather than the institution's own custodial account.
