The Wren's Egg is a Bronze Age stone alignment located in Wigtownshire, Scotland, comprising four standing stones arranged in two pairs. One pair stands approximately 18 metres to the east-north-east, whilst the second pair is positioned some 406 metres to the south-south-east. The monument typifies the ritual and ceremonial practices of Bronze Age communities in south-west Scotland, though the precise chronology and original function of the alignment remain uncertain. The stones themselves are substantial upright granite or similar blocks that have endured millennia of exposure to the Scottish climate, providing evidence of Bronze Age monumental construction in this region.
