The large grey granite chair, which was designed by Doug Cocker, was installed in 2004 to mark the regeneration of the Niddrie Mains area.
Oversized chairs as public art is nothing new – Washington DC, Geneva, Dartmoor, all have them but there is something about Niddrie's chair that looks utilitarian and unfriendly.
Perhaps, when tourists ask for directions to Arthur's Seat, they should be directed here...
