Langstane is a Bronze Age standing stone located in Caithness, Scotland, approximately 40 metres south of Langstane itself. The monument comprises a single upright stone of the type characteristic of Bronze Age ritual and ceremonial landscapes in northern Scotland. Such standing stones served purposes that remain partially understood, though they are generally interpreted as markers of territorial significance, burial sites, or focal points for community gatherings during the Bronze Age period. The stone's survival into the present day contributes to our understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and monumental practices in the far north of Scotland.
