This Glasgow pub claims to have a treasured artefact stolen over 70 years ago
There is a charming little pub in Woodlands which has been a regular watering hole for West Enders, university students and academics since it first opened in 1860.
The Stone of Destiny was used in the coronation ceremonies of Scottish kings for centuries, and it was regarded that the title was not official until the king had sat upon it. The bizarre story then goes that, amid intense scrutiny and suspicion falling on them, the students handed the stone to the Scottish Covenant Association, who later decided that the point had been made and it was time for it to be returned.
When pub bosses were refurbishing the Arlington in 2007, they found a large, heavy red sandstone block under a boxed seat – and they were convinced it was the real Stone of Destiny.
