Modern stone circle in the garden of No.1, West Camus Road, Edinburgh, erected in 1999 or 2000, consisting of 12 upright slabs, some engraved with Pictish symbols by sculptor James MacCaulay. The ground in and around is covered with gravel and scattered with fragments of slate which also bear Pictish symbols.
Outside the circle is another upright slab, a copy of an Ubster gravestone carved with Pictish symbols on both sides.
The Canmore record for this site includes the fanciful claim "the stone circle is a copy of a Pictish stone circle" but there are no stone circles erected by the Picts.
