Glassie is a Bronze Age rock art site located northwest of the settlement of Glassie in Perthshire, Scotland. The site comprises cup-and-ring marked stones alongside plain cup-marked stones, representing typical forms of Neolithic and Bronze Age rock art found across Scotland. Cup-and-ring motifs, consisting of small cupules surrounded by concentric circles pecked into stone surfaces, are among the earliest monumental art forms in Britain, dating broadly to the later Neolithic and early Bronze Age periods. Such rock art panels served ritual, territorial, or commemorative functions and remain significant records of prehistoric artistic and cultural expression in the Scottish landscape.
