Cup Marked Stone

It is commonly said that all the heirs of Balvarran were christened
at the stone, a new cup or basin being made for each infant, but that
General Reid was not so christened: at his baptism in the house a silver
bowl was used, with the disastrous result that there were no more male
heirs and the family died out. From the article by John Dixon at
http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/adsdata/PSAS_2002/pdf/vol_055/55_095_099.pdf
in the 1920/21 volume of the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.
