The site of Wallace’s cave is also home to prehistoric rock carvings likely dating from the Neolithic or early Bronze Age – in Scotland,  that means 4000 to 6000 years ago. There were at least three styles of carvings.

 

This photo shows a unique “s” design – the only one of its type at this site.

 

 

 

Other carvings were either concentric circles or spirals.

I found a bit of awe touching the surfaces, knowing some ancient artist did the same thousands of years ago.

Simpler “cup and ring” carvings existed on the more weather-worn surfaces below the carvings pictured above.

The site is recognized by Historic Environment Scotland which has some basic information, as well as a map showing the cave and carvings, available online.
