Celtic Otherworld I Four teenagers are trying to end the ruinous war. They are a human, a runaway Elf Princess, a Dryad Mage and a Dwarf Wizard. Or at least that’s what Caoimhghín (Kevin), the student Magus thinks they are. Most of the action is on a legendary Celtic Otherworld, in Magh Meall where all the Tuath Dé live. Out of food and close to despair in the mountains they are told to wait for another companion by Corbie, the rook Familiar of Dean David, from the Magi College. The cover is edited from a detail of “Miranda, The Tempest” by John William Waterhouse. Under the Stone of Destiny was originally written during July & August 2015 with parts in 1996. This is the corrected Spring 2024 edition. About 78,200 words.

This title is now a major Hollywood film starring Robert Carlyle and Billy Boyd. Ian Robertson Hamilton was an unknown law student at Glasgow University until Christmas Eve 1950. On that night, assisted by Alan Stewart, Gavin Vernon and Kay Matheson, he took the Stone of Destiny from beneath the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey and in doing so became a Scottish national hero. In England, however, the act had the opposite effect and a manhunt for the 'vulgar vandals' was started to satisfy the outrage of the English establishment and bring them to justice. In the end, the Stone was given up, but the gang were not charged. This solitary act set Hamilton on a path for the rest of his life from which he has not diverged. Although, it is now nearly sixty years since that fateful night, it is the actual events surrounding the taking of the Stone which hold people spellbound when Hamilton recounts them. In this book, Ian Hamilton has set down the chain of events which led to his decision to go to London, remove the Stone and a minute-by-minute account of the act and the aftermath. But this is not simply a retelling of a stunt that made nationwide news, it is a book about how a nation's conscience was stirred by a symbolic act that changed lives of many.

For centuries, the kings and queens of Great Britain have been crowned whilst sitting upon the Stone of Destiny. The Stone was taken from Scone in Scotland by King Edward I of England in 1296 during the Wars of Scottish Independence. His desire to have the Stone was partly due to the tradition that the monarchs of Scotland had been crowned upon it since time immemorial. It was thus seen as the most potent symbol of the Scottish right to being a separate nation from England. The legend of the Stone of Destiny is that it was originally from a place called Bethel in Israel. Tradition claims that it was used by the patriarch Jacob as a pillow upon which he rested his head and received a vision from God, confirming Jacob and his offspring as the chosen ones of God's favour. How and why did this Stone, which is important to the Children of Israel, come to be associated with the Scottish and subsequently British Monarchy? It has been suggested that the Stone that Edward took was not the genuine king-making Stone of Scotland. Rumours persisted that the original was taken and hidden by the monks of Scone Abbey, and that what Edward took was nothing more than an unimportant block of sandstone. Could this be true, and if so, what happened to the real Stone? The Stone of Destiny has played a pivotal role in defining both Scottish and English national identities over the past seven centuries. Political sensitivities around the Stone continue in the present day. This book examines the various myths and legends to try to piece together a more complete and accurate history of the Stone, as well as its implications for the future.

The Stone of Destiny, Stone of Scone or Coronation Stone, is a relatively unattractive and unappealing slab of stone but it is also a unique symbol in Scottish history, linked to royal inaugurations. At a conference organised by the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 1997 participants focused on the stone as both object and symbol', discussing its origins, authenticity, its role as a national icon, its removal and loss, and its final return to Scotland in 1996. A range of different approaches were taken assessing the geology of the stone, its ceremonial functions, its links with Scone and Scone Abbey and its turbulent history. Contributors include:

The best place to hide a secret is in the past... but the past can be uncovered. An ancient Scottish legend tells of Taine Rory Mhor, banished for 7 generations by the king to a far-away land. A few days later, in April 1296, the English invaded Scotland, captured the sacred and mythical 'Stone of Scone' and transported it south, to Westminster Abbey where it has been used in every coronation since. Or has it...? In July 2005 as London celebrated winning the rights to host the 2012 Olympic Games, a series of deadly explosions ripped through the city. On the same day in Scotland the G12 Summit of world leaders was interrupted as protesters stole the Stone Of Scone from a temporary display in the lobby of the Gleneagles Hotel. So continued a chain of events set in motion over 700 years before. Events, which if allowed to follow their course would lead to Armageddon - The End of Days - The annihilation of 4 billion people. One last holy war could destroy the world. Unless the riddle is solved of a mysterious green stone kept hidden in Buckingham Palace for the last 150 years. Read the first instalment - 'Milkshake' - also available on Amazon.
