Location and date of coronation?

Is it known where and when he was crowned? Name of the presiding cleric? Any other significant events surrounding the coronation?

I ask because all pre-David I monarchs are missing from this list:

Re Lede too short

The article contains little of interest that could be summarised in the lede. Even Alexander's connection with Scone lacks much substance. Perhaps it is the article that ought to be shortened instead. Valetude (talk) 13:34, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a substantial problem here either. I'll remove the tag. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 13:32, 14 December 2020 (UTC).[reply]
