Charles III "received" the Honours 👑⚔️ of Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿today in a ceremony with about as much basis in Scottish history as Braveheart. It wasn't a Scottish coronation, the last one of those was in 1651. How did we get there & why was that the last one? A thread🧵#ScottishHistory Before the Kingdom of Scotland there were Pictland c.390-900 and Dál Riata c.450-850 (also other kingdoms but lets keep it simple). They fought each other a lot but had some common interests, both were really keen on a good stone 🪨, like this one.

Scottish monarchs👑, their highest jubilee reached💎and if they were any good (marks out of 10 stones of destiny 🪨). A thread🧵
#ScottishHistory #Jubilee Image 1.👑Kenneth I, 843-858. Kicks the whole thing off with a respectable 15 years earning him a crystal jubilee🔮. Seems to have done a fair bit of uniting/conquering and was a fan of dressing up as an angel in a costume made of fish scales. 8/10 🪨
