The Stone of Destiny is thought to be the source of the name (or Scone). Over a thousand years ago, Scottish kings were crowned on this stone. On the Stone, in 1953, the current British Queen Elizabeth II was installed. Scones were first baked on a griddle and made with oats. These days, they are made of flour, baked in an oven, and have a variety of shapes (triangles, rounds, squares, and diamonds).
