Hill of Cruester is a Bronze Age standing stone located approximately 570 metres north-east of Hiltoun in Shetland, Scotland. The monument comprises a single upright stone of the type commonly erected during the Bronze Age, a period marked by the establishment of such ritual and territorial markers across northern Britain. The stone's survival to the present day, despite the exposed moorland setting characteristic of Shetland's landscape, attests to its substantial construction. As a designated scheduled monument under Historic Environment Scotland, the site remains an important record of Bronze Age settlement patterns and ceremonial practice in the Northern Isles.
