The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this site - see their entry for Murlaganmore Footprint, Killin, Perthshire, which gives directions for finding this site, together with a photograph and a brief description.
This boulder is recorded as Canmore ID 24226, which quotes from Cash's 1912 report: "An outcrop with a "foot-print" in it is visible 100 yds N of Morlaganmore farmhouse and 10 yds W of the farm road. It measures 13 1/2" x 6" and is 6" deep. A natural crack runs obliquely across it. There is insufficient evidence to say whether it is natural or artificial." In 1975, this was updated to read: "on top of a long ridge of natural outcrop rock. It would appear to be artificial rather than natural. No other marks were seen on the rock."
TNA adds a curious note: "The ‘footprint’ appears to have been described first of all by F.W.L. Thomas (1879) in his essay on the inaugural seat of Kings at Dunadd, where a similar footprint is found at the top of the fort. Thomas thought that this curious footprint could have had a similar function — though even folklore hereabouts seems silent on such a matter."
