Arbroath Abbey

I congratulate the hon. Member for Angus (Mr. Weir) on securing the debate and on the passion and focus that he has brought to the subject. Arbroath abbey is very beautiful and incredibly important to the history of these islands. He did not mention that it is where the coronation stone—the Stone of Scone—was eventually found, just before the Queen's coronation. I remember that it had been missing for at least two years, and as a little girl I followed the story with great interest. It eventually turned up at Arbroath abbey—for many of the reasons, I suspect, that he mentioned.
