Hi Martin,
Great pics of Lamancha and Wester Yardhouses in the NMS. Thanks for that. Did you do some others too?
Went through all your pics and came upon a minor slip of a key; Kirton Manor should read Kirkton manor.
Thanks,
Jan

my typing sucks sometimes! Thanks for pointing that out- I've noticed a few of my own mistakes trying to update my database after a HD crash.
Nope- the only cup and ring pics I took in the NMS were those two- as far as I remember there was only one other cup and ring stone displayed with those two. I added them to TMA to add more to the complete picture around Wester Yardhouses (many more sites down there awaiting a visit) and the Lamancha stone as not much in the way of rock art in the Borders (well- the area around Tweeddale).
Have you had a look at my postings on Blackford Hill carving- I'd be interested to hear your views on age/date etc?
Cheers,
Martin

those carvings on Blackford Hill look amazing Martin. stylistically the deer is very like the one at Turnalt Farm in Argyll:
