On its discovery on the original site of the Hilton Stone, NMS lobbied/instructed that the base should be transported to Edinburgh to be exhibited alongside the larger section of the Stone already on display.The people of Hilton took exception to this strategy and formed the Historic Hilton Trust who lobbied for the stone to remain in its home village.After a protracted dispute agreement was reached that the Stone could remain in Hilton Village.This reversed the policy that important artefacts automatically go to Edinburgh. The outcome is a change in policy by HES and NMS that important heritage artefacts can stay in their original location to be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.Location: The Seaboard Centre, East Street, Balintore, IV20 1UA Hosted on Acast.
