NS 27590 74923 A cup-marked rock was found just outside the boundary fence of the club house. This large rock overlooks the Clyde and the hills beyond. It bears one large oblong carving on its northern slope and a circular cup mark on its top. There is at least one other possible carving on the rock’s eastern edge. The site is at an altitude of 522ft and was recorded as part of an ongoing recording project that began in 2007.
