Abbot of Scone
By the grace of Almighty God and the authority of Holy Church, we crown thee Malcolm, King of Scots. May thy reign be just and thy sword swift against thine enemies.

I accept this crown not for mine own glory, but for the peace and prosperity of all Scots, highland and lowland alike.
Earl of Fife
The north remembers who put down Macbeth. They'll not forget this day either.
Abbot of Scone
Let all present bear witness - as the stone bears the weight of kings, so shall this man bear the weight of Scotland.

By the blood of my father Duncan, and by the will of our people, I swear to defend this land with my last breath.
