Hawthornden NT 2802 6324 17 NT26SE 18

These carvings, which are almost inaccessible, are visible on the sides of a shallow recess above a ledge on the cliff that forms the E side of the River Esk gorge near Hawthornden. They include cupmarks, ring-marks, and spirals, but there are also a series of angular designs. The artificial cave known as Wallace's Cave lies immediately to the S.
