Summary
This Victorian monument marks a site of great historical significance in the history of Scotland, but only by pure chance. It stands on the Black Stone, traditionally believed to be the spot where King Alexander III fell accidentally to his death while riding along the coast to his hunting lodge at Kinghorn on a stormy night in 1286. His death allowed his brother-in-law, Edward Plantagenet, to seize the opportunity to meddle in Scottish affairs, which led directly to the Scottish Wars of Independence.
