Stronach Wood is a prehistoric rock carving site located approximately 700 metres west-southwest of Brodick School on the Isle of Bute, Scotland. The site comprises cup and ring markings, a form of rock art typical of the Bronze Age and earlier prehistoric periods in Scotland, though the precise dating of such carvings remains uncertain. These motifs, consisting of circular depressions and concentric rings pecked into the rock surface, represent an important category of portable and in situ rock art found across the British Isles and demonstrate the artistic and ritual practices of prehistoric communities in the western Scottish archipelago.
