Rock Art in Perth and Kinross
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this site - see their entry for Nether Glenny (42), Port of Menteith, Perthshire, which gives directions for finding this cup marked stone, together with photographs and a brief archaeology & history.
This stone is also recorded as Canmore ID 87397, their most recent report from 1995 saying: "Some 60m NE upslope from cup-marked rock at NN 5641 0224 is a second outcrop aligned NE-SW, measuring 4.70m in length by approximately 0.7m in width with four possible cup-marks."
TNA adds: "This 15-foot long stone halfway up the slope was said by the Royal Commission lads to have “four possible cup-marks” on it, whereas there are at least nine of them and maybe as many as eleven! Most of them are dead certs as prehistoric etchings, not just ‘possibles’. The more visible cup-marks here are found on the more western end of the stone, just below the grass-line. The cups here are quite distinct, measuring some two-inches across and nearly half-an-inch deep in two of them. The others in this section are a little smaller and further down the slope of the rock. Seemingly not noticed for a long long time however is a small cluster of very faded cups, gathered like a very faint 4-star Pleiades cluster."
