WHAT’S THE STORY? THE Honours of Scotland, also known as the Scottish Crown Jewels, are back on public display again as Edinburgh Castle has opened its doors to visitors after the latest easing of lockdown restrictions. It has been a low-key return for the Castle, and visitors still have to pre-book to get in, but once there the Castle has much to offer, not least of which are the Stone of Destiny – until it is moved to its new home in Perth – and the Honours of Scotland. I suspect many Scots will be only vaguely aware that we have our own set of Crown Jewels which are considerably different from the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London because they are much older and, in my far from humble opinion, much more beautiful than those in London.
