On Christmas Eve 1950, four young Scottish students broke into Westminster Abbey and stole the Stone of Destiny, for centuries the symbol of English authority over Scotland, from its place beneath the Coronation Chair. The event sparked off a nationwide manhunt, captured news headlines for weeks and make the leader of the group, Ian Hamilton, a hero in his homeland. Though the four escaped detection for more than three months, in the end the Stone was given up and no charges were brought. This is Hamilton's account of the escapade.Product Identifiers
