Where tiles are fitted externally to high rise walls they can be stuck on with solid bed of adhesive to a good quality render coating that is itself usually coated over a mechanically fixed mesh. Again this is something that I have no direct experience of other than the general adhesive manufact's blurb (and it may be out of date with regard to current specs).

The original post is not about tiles though it is 75mm thick stone (200mm high x 1m long) and I still do not think it is something that is appropriate to stick onto a render surface (even if paint removed) without some permanent support - i'm guessing it must weigh about 45kg. Therefore I'd still not risk putting it up without an expert opinion/specification so I think Wayne was wise not to do it.

If its stuck on right, rendered around it won't need screwing on .
It may just be me but ive seen tiles , stone and the like 'stuck' on high rise flats, offices ect .
Done right it aint going anywhere

Yes if a whole facade is done! Cos it's gonna have support from the bottom up!
But ur talking about having 2 thirds of it hanging out the wall, and that's if its chopped into the render first!
