In PSAS, Volume 10 (1872-4), p.288 and Plate IX there is an article by Andrew Jervise “Notice regarding a “Pict’s House’ and some other Antiquities in the Parish of Tealing”. The cup-marked slab is on the left. The stone with the “mussel” shaped cups was reported to be lost but it could well be the “cup-marked” stone photographed by Hamish in October 2006.

Looking SW from halfway up the ridge with Crinan Harbour in the background. The main panel with rock art lies between the two trees. The Dun on the right of the farm is clearly visible.
View over a decorated outcrop rock (right) West of the ridge and near the sea
Faint motifs with gapped rings on the outcrop rock near the sea, West of the ridge
The largest panel of rock art, just halfway up the ridge, between the two trees.
What is the reason these guys look quite unhappy and why is it that only the posture seems right? Do they miss the rock art on Moors and Hill slopes? Are those trembling empty hands grabbing for virtual pints? Who took this picture? These questions will probably never be answered. It’s just from left to right: Jan, Stone, Gus and the sound of silence.........
