Paisley's Ian Hamilton, who had his name etched in history after his daring raid to retrieve the Stone of Destiny, has died aged 97.
The Scot was one of four students who removed the ancient stone from under the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey in December 1950, just days before Christmas, reports the Daily Record.
The move was hailed as a victory for Scottish nationalism - although the group handed over the stone to the Church of Scotland in April 1951.
