The Swedish Runestone in Princes Street Gardens, designated U 1173 in the Rundata catalogue, is an 11th-century〔 Swedish Viking Age runestone located in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh, below Edinburgh Castle Esplanade, set within a fenced enclosure adjacent to Ramsay Garden. Originally from Lilla Ramsjö, Vittinge, it was donated to the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 1787 by Sir Alexander Seton of Preston and Ekolsund (né Baron in 1738 - died 1814), and was presented to the Princes Street Proprietors by the Society in 1821. It is one of three Swedish runestones Britain; the other two (U 104 & U 1160) are in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford in England.〔(Project Samnordisk Runtextdatabas Svensk ) - Rundata entry for U 104.〕〔(Project Samnordisk Runtextdatabas Svensk ) - Rundata entry for U 1160.〕 ==Inscription== Transliterated into Latin characters: ' ari + rasti + stain + aftir + (h)ialm + faþur sin + kuþ + hialbi + ant hans 〔(Project Samnordisk Runtextdatabas Svensk ) - Rundata entry for U 1173.〕 Transcription into Old Norse: Ari ræisti stæin æftiR Hialm, faður sinn.
