I thought that'd catch yer eye FW, it's a beautiful big old cup.
Me & Mr Hob found a couple of beauts, check out this other one just a little west http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/33354
Not as pretty but equally grand.
Bull..whassisnames was mentioned at the time along with pot barley stones.

Sorry about totally mistyping your name ... I was in bullaun shock!

That stone is the first 100% definite link between rock art and bullauns and basically confirms my proposal that bullauns are far older than the early Christian period that the scholars prescribe to them. Many have poo-pooed my ideas and now I can stuff it to them :-)

I will be coming to see this one for myself as soon as I can do so. It's a beaut!

It is indeed.

You had your stone-radar set to 'full tilt' there Mr Fitz. Homed in on it like a thing that homes in on things very efficiently...
