Learg Mhor

Cup Marked Stone

drewbhoy Jul 12, 2023

The severe vegetation at Dun Bhronaig became a memory as I headed south climbing up and down small valleys. Slightly boggy but an easy walk. Walkers are clearly being encouraged to walk here as there a new gates all over the place.

The cup marked rock at Learg Mhor has 9 well worn cups that are still visible, overnight rain helped. 100m south, as a bird would fly, sadly that 100m is across a bog and I needed to head back to Tayvallich.

Next time for the second stone.

Ferry to Jura next.
