Cheers, those symbols look more occult than masonic though, hard to know.

Interesting history then.

 

[Barn Owl]

Interesting history then.

a few miles up river are the first cup and ring carvings to be found on the vertical plane as opposed to the horizontal, if my memory serves.
it's also legend that this area is of 'old king cole' (coyle) and of course it's rabbie burns' haunt.
