Lang Stane, Aberdeen, Prehistoric menhir in Aberdeen, Scotland
The granite standing stone measures 1.8 meters in height, 0.68 meters in width, and 0.3 meters in thickness, positioned at Langstane Place.
This stone might have belonged to a stone circle around 3000 BC, as indicated by its base carved into a keel shape typical of Aberdeenshire monuments.
The Lang Stane influenced local naming conventions, with several establishments and areas incorporating its name, including Langstane Press and Langstane Housing Association.
The stone remains visible from Union Street, recessed into an alcove at the southeast corner of number 10 Langstane Place in central Aberdeen.
Paterson's Map of Aberdeen from 1746 shows the stone in its current position, predating the construction of Langstane Place itself.
