Ravenswood standing stone

The stone stands in the footway at the north-west side of the cul-de-sac at the eastern end of Ravenswood Avenue in The Inch in Edinburgh.

[2] Because of its situation, in the middle of a modern housing estate, it has been said that it "might be Britain's most urban standing stone".

Historic Environment Scotland note that the stone no longer has any archaeological potential as it has been moved, but remains worthy of protection due to its cultural significance.

[2] The stone was moved in the early 19th-century to facilitate a road scheme, but was restored to its original location in 1891.

Together with an additional corner face of around 110 millimetres (4.5 in) this gave a total circumference of around 2.4 metres (8 ft).

[6] The schedule of protection was amended on 19 December 2002 to cover the new area of the stone, within a circle of diameter 0.7 metres (2 ft 4 in); as such it omits the railings.
