  Looking at the Wikipedia article for the actual stone of scone, it’s a rock that the king sat during the ceremony.

    Yes and no.

    It’s a national symbol of Scotland stolen by England after putting down Scottish rebellion. There’s another large stone very important to Ireland that was also stolen by the English.

    They then had the Scottish stone put into the seat of a throne so the king or queen sits on Scotland and they had the Irish stone put into basically a footstool and kings and queens would rest their feet on Ireland.

    It’s a diss track via furniture and old rocks.

        It’s the name of a small village on the site of an Abbey where the kings of Scotland were traditionally crowned.
