Further to fitz's post, this stone seems to stand directly in between Traprain Law and Berwick Law - tell me that was an accident!

Blackford Hill (Carving) — Miscellaneous

The easiest way to get to this site is by approaching from the south. Take the path with the steps up towards the summit of Blackford Hill, but maybe 30 steps from the top the gorse to your left stops and is replaced with grass on a steep slope. There are a couple of faint tracks visible here. Leave the main path and walk around the edge of the hill towards the prominent tree, where the gorse starts again. Once you reach the tree the hollow in the rock and the carving itself are both clearly visible.

There's quite a lot of scree and it is steep, so appropriate footwear is required!

Hi!

I'm a freelance eyewear designer in Edinburgh, exiled from my beloved Perthshire. I also run a website about Scotland's many standing stones and stone circles:

stravaiging around Scotland

Some things I like:

Perthshire
Moscow
Guinness
puddings
music (my taste is either eclectic or dodgy, depending on your viewpoint - Joy Division, New Order, Mull Historical Society, Emiliana Torrini, Cat Power, Sigur Ros and assorted others)
vegetables (especially spinach)

you can read more of my ramblings here http://www.stravaiging.com
