the Crown of Scotland
The Crown of Scotland is the ceremonial symbol of royal authority and sovereignty for Scotland. Crafted in the early 19th century, it is a richly decorated crown made of gold, adorned with precious stones and featuring traditional Scottish motifs. Used during official events like the opening of Parliament, it represents Scotland’s monarchy and historical independence. Although not the reigning monarch’s personal crown, it stands as a powerful emblem of Scottish heritage and the monarchy’s constitutional role within the United Kingdom.
