I, for one, am totally *not* surprised that a stone from Scotland has ended up in England.

But not for the cynical reason that you're all thinking.

I think that we vastly underestimate how much things and people moved around these Isles millennia ago.

Partly because we compress the timescales. Read the details, and you'll find that we're talking of construction periods that were centuries long.

Also, people didn't live sessile inside our modern map boundary lines.
