Bowman Stone

Cup Marked Stone

drewbhoy May 1, 2010

Bowman’s Rock can be found by parking at the church in the small village of Kirkton Of Rayne. It is short walk of 500 meters to the stone on the track just to the north of the church.

The cup mark can be seen on the second picture but it is badly weathered. Something nags me about this place so I’ll have to go back. What a shame there seems to tractor marks on some of the outcrops. Bennachie is the obvious focal point and wonderful it looks, ironic that next to the rock is a demolished farm building.
