Edinburgh Runestone submitted by Anne T on 7th Jan 2018. The Runestone seen by clambering up the steep muddy track from Princes Street Gardens, just below the Castle Esplanade. The runes read: ""Ari engraved this stone in memory of Hialm his father. God help his soul."

Log Text: Edinburgh Runestone, George's Square: A friend very kindly told me this stone has now been relocated, although it is still in the process of being bedded into its new spot, with the concrete shuttering still around its base.
The red cross on the eastern narrow side of the stone has now been picked out in red paint. The plain, southern side, is presumably to be hidden by shrubs once the bed is replanted.
