The newest relic cost around £22,000
This Wednesday will see King Charles return to Scotland for a 'second coronation' where he will be presented with three priceless relics.
The Honours of Scotland are the regalia that have been worn by Scottish monarchs at their coronation going back hundreds of years. Dating back to the 1400s, they are the oldest surviving set of crown jewels in the UK. Designed by former Ormond Pursuivant of Arms Mark Dennis, and worked on by a number of expert Scottish craftspeople, the new sword includes a pommel of Lewisian gneiss and a scabbard wrought from Perthshire oak.
The Crown of Scotland The Crown Of Scotland is the centrepiece of the Honours of Scotland, and is the oldest surviving crown in the UK — and even one of the oldest in Europe. During the ceremony at St Giles' Cathedral, the Crown Of Scotland will be carried by The Duke of Hamilton.
