Southside is a Bronze Age standing stone located approximately 130 metres south-west of Southside in Orkney, Scotland. The monument is designated as HES INSPIRE reference SM1381 and represents the Bronze Age tradition of monumental stone erection that characterised much of the second millennium before the Common Era. Such standing stones across Orkney typically served functions related to ritual, burial practice, or territorial marking within Bronze Age communities. The stone's survival to the present day, despite the exposed environment of the Orkney archipelago, attests to its substantial construction and the cultural significance attributed to its original placement.
