Location Notes: This a huge erratic schist boulder is situated on Bochastle Hill just outside Callander. The stone was inspected all round its sides and on top. There is no trace of anything that could be remotely construed as a cupmark. The top surface is relatively smooth, with one, quite obviously natural, rounded hollow on the top loosely fitting the description of the 'cup mark' but it is difficult to see how any feature on this rock could have been mistaken as such.
