One obvious cup centre right, the others are in front of the brown coloured stuff.

The cups are there, the top right wet mark isn’t a cup, the cup is just in front coming towards the two cups nearer the bottom left. All in a diagonal line. Poor light.

The cup marked rock. The village of Daviot is well to the left in the distance.

Leggetsden

Cup Marked Stone

drewbhoy Jan 10, 2015

Leave the B9001 north of Inverurie at the Oldmeldrum/Pitcaple crossroads heading towards Pitcaple. Take the first farm track heading south (after the minor road) and park at Resthivet. Walk further up the track until a small wood. A wee path leads up the hill, keep going until at the top and look north. The rock should be about 50 meters away.

The large sloping rock has 3 decent sized cup marks and was discovered by G. Currie in 2007. Still I found it by chance after going for a stroll to look for cup marks, poor light prevented some decent pics but I’ll go back and try to do better.
