A stone hidden away on a British council estate and protected from vandals by a cheap railing is more ancient than the Egyptian pyramids.
Originally built in the Neolithic period the stone was erected around 4,000 years ago - predating the Great Pyramid of Djoser which was the first in Egypt.
Incredibly the single megalith, also as old as Stonehenge, now sits unceremoniously next to a block of flats in a cul-de-sac on Ravenswood Avenue, in the Inch area of Edinburgh.
