The rock art is a new find from a couple of weeks ago The stone setting , possibly remains of a hut circle or ring cairn , would have been noted by whoever cleared the heather from either side of the new track allowing access to the new Denny -Beauly super pylons . A good practice not always followed elsewhere .

Some new finds from today and one old find from about four years ago turned out to be more ornate on further investigation, having what looks like a cartouche like enclosure around four cups . .The first 2 pics are the old one which is among the older pics but only showing about 8 cups .The other four are two examples of before and after ,they don’t look much but a bit of oblique light and water brings out the motifs .

These two pics are of the same stretch of rock and show what a difference appropriate lighting and a drop of water can make .

Some new finds from yesterday , they are a mile and a half west of the RCAHMS stones named Urlar Burn ,as they are in the area of the burn I have left the name , a more appropriate name might be Craig Hill. The Bolfracks stone is on the Northern slopes of that hill.
