Former lawyer and Scottish nationalist Ian Hamilton who rose to fame for his daring raid to retrieve the stone of destiny has died aged 97.
The famed Scot, from Paisley, was one of four students who removed the ancient Scots stone from under the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey in December 1950, just days before Christmas.
Though the group handed over the stone to the Church of Scotland in April 1951 - the move was hailed as a triumph of Scottish nationalism.
