Glassie, cup-marked rock 720m W of, is an ancient rock surface bearing cup-and-ring marks located in Perthshire, Scotland. Cup-marked rocks of this type are typically attributed to the Bronze Age, though their precise chronology remains debated amongst archaeologists, with some examples potentially extending into the Neolithic period. The rock displays the characteristic shallow circular depressions, or cups, that define this class of prehistoric rock art, which may have held ritual, territorial, or astronomical significance for the communities that created them. Such monuments are widespread across upland regions of Scotland and represent an important category of portable and non-portable art from the later prehistoric period.
