Hunter's Craig, also known as Eagle Rock, is a rock carving located at Dalmeny in West Lothian, Scotland. The site comprises cup-and-ring markings pecked into the natural rock surface, characteristic of Neolithic and Bronze Age rock art traditions in Britain. Such carvings, which typically consist of circular depressions surrounded by concentric rings, are thought to date from the third or second millennium BCE, though their precise purpose remains debated among scholars. The monument represents an important example of prehistoric artistic expression and demonstrates the long-term human occupation and cultural practices of the Forth valley region during the prehistoric period.
