Like Schivas I must have walked past them at some point, the crops are also in growing so don't like to wander over the fields at this time. Yup these references for Rhynie for me and quarry hunting man from Glass would be good. Thank you!. Apparently there is a cup marked stone at Bruces Fort beside Inverurie. Any clues?

I'm going to assume that you live in or near Perthshire. Opposite the Carse Farm four poster there is a road that goes up the hill to or on the way to Dull. About 1/4 mile, on the left there are some outcrops. There are four stones stand like chamber of some kind minus a roof. Any more clues?

The cup marked rock at at Bruces Castle was among a lot of brash last time i vivited and is probably still like that the grid ref is close but might need a bit of wandering about to find .
I live in Angus (Tealing) .The site at Dull caused quite a debate , Henshall didn't believe it to be a chambered cairn but Margaret Stewart and Corocoran did . Most of the "new" marked rocks in the Rhynie area are in rough pasture so no problem with crops .Most are realtively clear but a couple are under turf .They are all in Canmore but lots of different farm names for quite a small area .
