**Bishop's Rock** submitted by hamish : This shows the proximity to the edge of the loch. I couldn't make out what the red marking was but any graffiti is unaccepable. (Vote or comment on this photo)

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.
