Bishop's Rock submitted by hamish

Cup and Ring marks in Argyll.
There cupmarks are on the edge of the small peninsula called Bishop's Island sticking out into Loch Leven.

It is near North Ballachulish and in easy walking distance.It's a bit of a scramble to reach the cupmarks but well worth the effort. On a summers day when clear there are magnificent views up the loch.

I was being very careful at this point. If it had been wet it would have been difficult.

Is that a face or a depiction of the constellation of Taurus.

The markings are all over the rock, I didn't look over the edge to see if there were any down there.

It's a bit of a scramble to reach these, be careful not to fall into the loch. There is a metal mooring post near for reference.
