Now that really shows how such a simple chair made of wood has ultimately beceme a sign of prestige for one of the world's greatest empire.

The Scotts & the English were such bitter rivals back then that capturing a simple chair made of wood was so symbolic - & it cost thousands of lives!

*The Scotts never recapture back this chair. Instead, Scotland was incorporated into "the United Kingdom" later on.

**Unfortunately, the wooden chair was vandalized by various visitors earlier this past century that it was put in seclusion.
