Scotland's History
Scotland's origins date from about AD 843, when Kenneth Macalpine, King of Scots, became also King of the Picts. He gave his kingdom, which was called Alba, a new focal point when, as legend has it, he had the Coronation Stone brought from Dunstaffnage in Argyllshire, seat of the King of Scots, to Scone, near Perth.
