Rock Art in Perth and Kinross

The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) gives details on how to reach this cup-marked stone, together with photographs and the archaeology and history of the immediate area. See their Ballochraggan 01, Port of Mentieth, Perthshire page.

Canmore ID 78352 also tells us that : "On the rough surface of the lower conglomerate boulder are about ten cups, some possibly natural. On the larger boulder is one possible cup ..... A group of boulders situated prominently to the S of Ballochraggan Cottage. The possible cup-mark on the largest boulder is probably a solution hollow, whilst those on the lower rock were difficult to see on the date of visit." They give the alternative name of Menteith 2.
