Scone Clan

The Scone Clan was a clan of gargoyles in ancient Scotland in or near Scone.

History

Very little is known of the Scone Clan. It is possible, perhaps even likely, that they had contact of some sort with the Wyvern Clan and the Loch Ness Clan, and they almost certainly had a relationship with the local humans and perhaps the Stone of Destiny. Robbie, and probably Prince Malcolm with him, encountered the Scone Clan at least once by 967 and in that year commented that they were unlike the gargoyles of the Wyvern Clan who were "rougher" and "harder" than the Scone Clan. It is also possible that the Scone Clan already had named members at that point. [1]

It is hard to be certain at what point in time the Scone Clan became extinct (which was probably at the hands of humans). Since Robbie had encountered them by 967, they must've been around at least until the middle of the 10th century. By 1040, however, Macbeth, Demona and several gargoyles from Demona's Clan arrived in Scone for the crowning of Macbeth as King. No mention was made of the Scone Clan, and from the talk between Demona and Macbeth about human/gargoyle relations in Scotland, it seems likely that Demona's Clan was the only gargoyle clan known to exist in Scotland by humans (though the Loch Ness Clan continued to exist in secret at this point). So perhaps the clan was still around in 1040 and perhaps not. Constantine initiated a plan to eradicate gargoyles from Scotland in 995, so it is very possible, this clan, located near a major human settlement, was destroyed at that point. It is also possible that when Scone Clan was destroyed some of the survivors joined Demona's Clan. What is known is that by 1057 they were certainly extinct, as Demona's Clan was destroyed that year and she felt her clan was the last gargoyle clan in Scotland (though, again, the Loch Ness Clan was still in existence).
