Mr. Lang, in his article on the' Cup and Ring,'* mentions how in Argyll a woman who desires to have a baby will slide down a cup-marked {i.e., an inscribed) rock, and adds that the sliding is attested by a chief of Clan Diarmid... J. H. RIVETT-CARNAC. Schloss Wildeck, Switzerland.From Notes and Queries, April 27th, 1901. *I believe this refers to the 1899 article in the 'Contemporary Review'. |

Avinagillan (Standing Stone / Menhir) — Fieldnotes |

Follow the same directions as Carl, I parked slightly further along the road at a barn then walked back. The gate isn't so rusty now and the protective fence has vanished. This has improved the location greatly. Standing at almost 2m in height, a fine stone in a flat field which makes for easy viewing. A nice easy start to the day. Visited 09/08/2024. |
