If one was setting up a nexus point it would make sense to have a large rock from each of the distinctive areas of the British Isles that were to come to have a balance.

There's really no good reason not to return them. Its clearly the right thing to do & these days we can make copies to exhibit if needed.
Why the hell are institutions always so reluctant to do the right thing.
