Glennan Burn cup-marked stone

The boulder bears some cup-marks, and some rings (a few reports claim that the rings are worn away, but, as of 2015, they were still faintly visible when lit by a low sun). See LinkExternal link (at Canmore) for other archaeological details. The boulder had been blasted into pieces long ago, and an examination in 2015 revealed that one fragment was upside down; that piece was then set the right way up. By the end of 2016, an interpretation panel had been installed nearby.
