Approx landscape position is indicated from the initial stages of the ascent of Schiehallion.... the very deceptively easy initial stages, that is.

This ‘rock art photography lark’ is harder.... much harder.... than perhaps generally thought. Anyway, my best attempts with a bog standard Canon 1000 DSLR.

My old – very old – 1:50K OS map didn’t feature this rock upon it... so my thanks to the information board at the car park entrance for doing its job wonderfully. From here I had no choice but to ascend Schiehallion.

A good time to visit would appear to be about 2 o’clock on the 29th of September! The sun was low and the cups were unbelievably well picked-out, much better than any other time I’ve visited (winter excepted!).

A hump backed boulder measuring approx 2 X 1.3 X 0.5 m high. At least 25 cup marks most of which are approx 7 cm in diameter, but one whopper of 14 cm diameter and 6 cm deep.
