Just read this quote from a contributor on the Scotsman:

So why are these type of finds always deemed religious? Could they have been from a popular game? Throw a stone and score so many points if you get them in a "cup" and more if it has a ring around it?

She could be on to something!

More like ON something :-)

So where was George when all of this was being found? George!!!


Consuming large amounts of salt at the moment , but I wasn't born when they were first noted. A Mr. Joass mentioned finding 10 marked rocks then a further four or five later ,in 1864 . There were other finds in the 70's possibly the same as the earlier ones . It seems a bit odd that Bob Gourlay who was an archaeologist had discovered some more then failed to record or input them into the SMR . Apart from the obviously dodgy stuff about cup markings and alignments it would be good to see some actual evidence . It's a shame that the media should pick up on this when in the same area there is a lot of genuine excellent work being done discovering and recording rock art by a group of amateur volunteers called Nosas .They have quietly got on with the business and produced the data , maybe if they mentioned earth energies or rituals they might get similar coverage .
