The dynasty of David's throne, having been transplanted from Ireland, was overturned and established in Scotland in c. AD 487 when a prince of Ireland's royal line was crowned King Fergus I. Later, in AD 1603, this lineage was again overturned and moved to England when Scotland's James VI was crowned James I of England, a line that continues to the present day.

The Bethel Stone, also known as the Stone of Destiny or the Stone of Scone, journeyed from Ireland to Scotland, marking a significant transition in its history. In Scotland, Aidan, an Irish man and son of an Irish king, was crowned king of Scotland on this stone, establishing a coronation ritual that has been followed by succeeding monarchs of Scotland and England. The stone was kept in the Abbey of Scone, which gave it the name Stone of Scone, until the Abbey was destroyed during the Reformation. Edward I of England then removed the stone to Westminster Abbey, where it has remained, continuing its legacy as the coronation stone for monarchs of England, with the exception of Mary I. The stone's movement from Scotland to England represents one of the three overthrows of the throne of David, fulfilling a historical progression from Jerusalem to Ireland, then to Scotland, and finally to England.

Scotland holds a significant place among the regions associated with the modern-day house of Israel, particularly through its connection to the tribe of Ephraim. As part of the broader British peoples, Scotland shares in the heritage of Ephraim, who, along with Manasseh, received the birthright blessings promised by God through Jacob and Moses. These blessings manifested in the expansion and dominance of the British Empire, which included Scotland as a vital component. The Scottish people, intertwined with the Angles and Saxons, contributed to the growth of a company of nations, fulfilling the prophecies of becoming a multitude of nations and pushing the peoples to the ends of the earth. Scotland's role within this empire reflects the geopolitical and economic strength bestowed upon Ephraim, as the British, including the Scots, established control over strategic gates and territories worldwide, ensuring military and commercial hegemony.

The apostle Peter, as the chief among the twelve, was commissioned to carry the gospel to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. According to historical accounts, Peter spent a significant part of his ministry in the British Isles, where he converted many nations to the faith. This presence in Britain is evidence that part of the lost House of Israel was already settled there during his time. Around AD 60, great wars overtook Britain, aligning with warnings given to the tribes of Israel. Additionally, in AD 656, Pope Vitalian sent the remains of Peter and Paul to King Oswy, an English monarch, indicating a connection to the region. Greek church historian Theodoret also reports that Paul brought salvation to the isles in the ocean, identified as the British Isles, further supporting the presence of the lost tribes in that area. Remnants of the House of Israel had migrated to the British Isles by early New Testament times, and later, in the 5th century, some moved from North Africa into Ireland and Britain, with further migrations in AD 449 from the Black Sea regions to Denmark and then to the British Isles.

Modern Scottish tradition holds that Andrew, one of the apostles, preached to their ancestors. Migration histories indicate that the ancestors of the Scots and Anglo-Saxons originated from areas like Asia Minor and Scythia, along the Black Sea and extending as far north as the Volga River, where Andrew is believed to have carried out his mission. Today, the St. Andrew's cross, associated with his martyrdom on an X-shaped cross at Patras in Achaea, remains a unique emblem of the Scottish people.
