If you get a conglomerate with pebbles on a bedding line and they fall out you get a common misapprehension of "cups " .
That was a conglomerate??!!
No , it's sandstone with pebbles although it is in an area of Dunnottar conglomerate .

I know, sorry, my sense of humour getting me in trouble again :)

Thats what I was getting at with the "bedding in the rocks" bit, obviously a change in the sediment type or size which can erode out. But its a shame really, it all looks so convincing, seems sad to just explain it all away with science!!
