Fingask Castle Standing Stone is a Bronze Age monolith situated approximately 320 metres south-south-east of Fingask Castle near Rait in Perthshire, Scotland. The stone represents a survival of prehistoric ritual or territorial marking practice, dating to the Bronze Age period when such monuments were commonly erected across Scotland. The monument stands as a discrete archaeological feature within the landscape, distinct from the later castle that now shares its locality name. Such standing stones from this period typically served functions related to ceremonial practices, burial rites, or the demarcation of significant places in the Bronze Age settlement pattern.
