A large-scale search for more than 30 fragments of the legendary Stone of Destiny artefact is now underway, with a professor appealing to the public for any information.
A large-scale search is currently underway to trace the stories of more than 30 fragments of the Stone of Destiny.
Most of the chips in question were created when a mason covertly repaired the stone after it was split in two during an infamous raid by four students in 1950. This repair work was carried out under the supervision of stonemason and nationalist politician Bertie Gray, who carefully numbered and recorded the pieces.
Foster’s research, which is being funded by The British Academy and the Leverhulme Trust, has seen her comb through old newspaper archives that date back decades. It has revealed pieces of the stone in some surprising locations. She said: "Even at that stage I was aware there were other fragments, but I had not yet realised just many there were going to be. there was a case for codifying what their policy was going to be in relation to these, so that people wouldn’t feel shy about coming forth and say they’ve got – or had – a bit of it.”
Foster added: “It would be lovely to see more of these in the public domain and the stories being shared and celebrated.”
