Oooh thanks. The reference made to it I had was:

Murthly Farm, Aberfeldy. Perthshire (PSAS vol18 p112 + Vol16 p98) - On the hillside near this farm there are several cup an ring marked boulders. One the top of one large boulder there are nine cup marks, and one cup and ring mark, below which, on the sloping side of the stone there is a smooth slide, ".....highly polished by persons sliding down it for amusement, as is also the case at the Witch's stone, near Ratho."


Haven't found pics yet but I have a 6 day tour to do in that area, planned for August next year, when we will be visiting a few sites.


Ahh that's (Mains of ) Murthly (there are two in Perthshire ).That one is not a Witches Stone though .
