Guisachen - Cup Marked Standing Stone

A small standing stone near the small village of Tomich in Invernesshire, which lies in the old parkland attached to the, now ruined, Guisachen House. It has several cup marks in the centre towards its base on the NE side. This appears to be an example of a cup marked boulder which has been deliberately selected an then upended as a standing stone. The opposite face of the stone is relatively flat and when it lay originally on this side, the cup marking would have been on the topmost point of the boulders in an almost horizontal position - which is the position in which they are usually found in Scotland. There are four definite cup marks and two further smaller possible ones.
