Scone was a sort of unofficial capital of Scotland during the 12th century, and was the place where the Scottish kings were crowned. They were crowned over a stone called the Stone of Scone, which was built into the throne there. The Stone of Scone was, according to the legends, the stone Joseph used as a pillow when he dreamed the dream of the ladder with angels ascending and descending, in the Biblical Book of Genesis. According to the legend, Hebrews took the stone with them when they migrated to Ireland, about the time when Judah was in the Babylonian captivity. Later, it was moved to Scotland, where it was used as a coronation stone by Fergus, the first king of Scots in Scotland.
