The artefact, also known as the Stone of Scone, is soon going to Perth Museum where it will be at the centre of a £27 million redevelopment.
A special "farewell" ceremony has been held to mark the departure of the Stone of Destiny, the ancient sandstone block used in the coronation of monarchs, from Edinburgh Castle.
He and the Lord Lyon Joseph Morrow, the head of state ceremony in Scotland, gathered with guests from around the country in the great hall of the castle on Thursday afternoon, where the sandstone block sat on a plinth. He said: "This will be the first time that the stone will return to Perthshire in over 700 years. And it will form the magnificent centrepiece of the fantastic new Perth Museum - with the stone being free for all to visit."
He said the stone is a national symbol and doesn't belong to any one city of Scotland, adding, "I'm from Dundee so I would support it going to Dundee, needless to say".
