Rock carvings from Stronach Ridge
The rock carvings at Stronach Ridge (also known as Stronach Wood or Brodick carvings) are in the woods east of Brodick in North Ayrshire on the Isle of Arran in Scotland .
The petroglyphs were discovered at the beginning of the 19th century and illustrated by Mungo Buchanan in the "Book of Arran". The place was later planted with conifers and the rock art has not been seen for some time.
The scratches are concentrated mainly on one side of the outcrop . They mainly consist of cup-and-ring markings , some of which are interrupted by a groove that always points in the same direction.
