Evonium

Evonium is a purported lost city in Scotland first described by Hector Boece in his 16th-century Scotorum Historiae. According to Boece, it hosted the coronation of forty kings and was located in the Lochaber area.^[1] Boece's translator John Bellenden substituted Dunstaffnage for Evonium which led to the belief that the Stone of Scone was once kept at Dunstaffnage Castle.^[2]

Writer A. J. Morton has suggested that if Evonium actually existed it could have been located at Irvine, Ayrshire, known historically as Erewyn, Ervin or Erevine.^[3]
