Aussie Arnaud Harixcalde Logan has been slapped with a "malicious mischief" charge for allegedly attacking the Stone of Destiny's display case in Perth Museum, Scotland. The 35-year-old, reportedly donning a kilt, caused chaos as he attempted to shatter the protective glass surrounding this ancient symbol of Scottish sovereignty.

 

Logan, hailing from Sydney, faced Perth Sheriff Court but wasn't required to plead, leaving him detained pending a hearing next week. Cops rushed to the scene on Saturday following reports of the kilt-clad commotion at the museum in central Scotland.

 

The Stone of Destiny, or Stone of Scone, weighing a hefty 150 kilograms, has a storied past. Once integral to the coronations at Scone Abbey, it was seized by King Edward I of England in the 13th century and positioned under the throne at Westminster Abbey. Since then, it has played a pivotal role in the crowning of both English and British monarchs.

 

A group of Glasgow students famously stole the stone in 1950, but they returned it for Queen Elizabeth II's 1953 coronation. In 1996, marking a historic gesture, the stone made its return to Scotland and took residence at Edinburgh Castle, with the condition that it would travel back to London for future coronations. Under strict secrecy and security, it made its last journey for King Charles III's 2023 ceremony.

 

Now part of Perth Museum’s collection, officials assure tight 24/7 security. However, the weekend’s events have spotlighted ongoing tensions and the stone's enduring national significance.

Logan the Bogan. 

 

I'd imagine he's from the western suburbs of Sydney... I've met plenty of his ilk during late night drinking sessions there. This species is also known to populate Pattaya gogo bars.
