High Banks Cup and ring marks NX 709 489 Kirkcudbrightshire From Kirkcudbright head south on the A711 and after about 2 miles, just after Mutehill, take a right turn into a lane. After about a mile you come to a junction with a bridge to the left. Bear right here and shortly you come to a right turn signed to High Banks. We parked near here but found that there is a small parking space up at the farm for visitors to the site. The track to the farm is quite rough and is a pleasant walk. When you reach the farm there is a stile on the left that leads uphill to a second stile and on to the outcrop. A sign by the first stile says “No dogs as animals are grazing”.

flat rock outcrop, some 30m long, is richly decorated by cup and ring
markings. In the foreground the largest cup-and-ring is visible, 45cm in
diameter, surrounded by dense clusters of plain cups.
