The Peace Stone is a cup and ring marked stone located approximately 1350 metres north-east of Gartrenich in Perthshire, Scotland. The stone bears the characteristic rock art motifs typical of Neolithic or Bronze Age production, comprising cup marks and concentric ring markings incised into its surface. Such cup and ring marked stones are among Scotland's most enigmatic prehistoric monuments, with examples concentrated in upland regions of central and eastern Scotland, though their precise chronological dating and ritual or practical purpose remain subjects of scholarly debate. The Peace Stone contributes to the archaeological record of prehistoric artistic expression and territorial activity in the Perthshire landscape.
