 A standing stone on the North isle of Eday, the Stone of Setter is the tallest single standing stone in Orkney at 15 feet in height.
Facing north-south, it is much furrowed by weathering. Nearby there are traces of other structures. Located on Eday's Heritage Trail, there are a number of chambered cairns -- Braeside, Huntersquoy, and Vinquoy -- further up the trail..
