drolaf visited on 8th May 2023 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 3 A 'wow' for rock carving afficionados. a perfect site to visit on a rainy day on Arran. The unusual 'lollypops' differ from the usual cup and concentric rings elsewhere.
DJCM visited on 17th Oct 2015 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Visited while walking the Glen Cloy hills in a loop, Stronach Ridge to A 'Chruach and the Sheeans. Compared to a visit in spring of 2015, the rock had a lot more summer growth.
DJCM visited on 4th Apr 2015 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Walked up from Brodick with friends to visit the Cup and Ring Marked Rock of Stronach Wood. Little change to the site from a previous visit years before. Rock was dry with lots of pine needles covering the markings.
samricemonkey visited on 1st Apr 2009 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 The site is in amongst a dense conifer plantation. It was easily accessible by following a rough foresters track through the trees. The rock art was stunning! Half exposed from a boggy puddle. The fact that it lay so neglected and hidden away in the woods made it feel really special.
