Loth Stone is a standing stone of Bronze Age date located on the slopes of Traprain Law in East Lothian, Scotland. The monument survives as an upright stone of modest proportions within a landscape rich in prehistoric activity, as Traprain Law itself was a significant Iron Age settlement and hill fort. The stone's exact original purpose remains uncertain, though standing stones of this period typically held ritual or ceremonial significance within Bronze Age communities. Its survival on this prominent East Lothian landmark testifies to the long and complex occupation history of the Traprain Law locality from prehistoric through medieval times.
