Introducing John & Janet, 31st Keepers of the Sconestone

Janet & John Datchens

Janet and John are the 31st Keepers of the Sconestone!  They are from Gloucester, England.  Both Janet and John are avid bird-watchers, love nature and are keen explorers of the beautiful wilderness areas of the British Isles. John first held the Sconestone at Scone Palace back in August 2009.  He comments "The Sconestone in its pristine shape felt special then, but it has developed a somewhat careworn patina since then and has even more character as a result of all those hands caressing it around the World.  Indeed, one friend of ours said her hands 'tingled for ages' after holding The Sconestone".
