Greengirl visited on 22nd Jan 2020 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 3 Not far fromKirkcudbright. The farm track requires careful driving. Walk from the farm is well signposted and easy going but 2 steep stiles to cross

Anne T couldn't find on 19th Sep 2014 High Banks Farm Rock Art: Found the track to High Banks Farm easily enough, but husband wouldn't risk our car on the farm track, saying that we'd need a four wheel drive to attempt it. Our tight schedule of sites to visit for the rest of the afternoon didn't allow time to walk up to this rock art site, so sadly we've had to leave this until another day - a future treat!

Signposts lead you across a couple of fields (very muddy in wet weather and full of livestock) to this fantastic outcrop.
