In the forests at the west end of Loch Tay there are plenty of pretty clearnings. This one has a fairly nondescript boulder which, on closer inspection, is seen to have lots of deep cup marks and at least one cup-and-ring mark carved into one face. I counted 18 definite cup marks; CANMORE records that there are 21 cups.
