EpInBARNET, 20th May, 1893.—Permission to visit the estate 
having been kindly granted by the proprietor, Mr. Walter Mac- 
kenzie, this excursion was arranged jointly with the Old Kilpatrick 
Natural History and Antiquarian Society, a few members of 
which joined the party on arrival at Dalmuir Station. 
After passing through the villages of Hardgate and Faifley, 
the party proceeded to the outcrops of sandstone rock inscribed 
with cup and ring markings, which are situated on sloping 
ground near the public road at Edinbarnet. These archaic 
sculpturings, which cover a considerable surface of the rock, are 
now acknowledged to be among the finest examples in the West 
of Scotland. Since the Society’s last visit to this locality in 1890, 
several additional groups of markings have been discovered, and 
the series has been found to be much more extensive than was at 
first suspected. 
Some of the cups and rings more recently exposed still bear 
the marks of the tools with which they were cut. The inscribed 
rocks are now surrounded with a stone wall; but it seems pro- 
bable that the markings will run great risk of being injured, if 
not altogether obliterated, by the feet of the many visitors to 
this interesting spot. 
Having returned to the public road, the party shortly after- 
wards entered the policies of Edinbarnet, which, although not” 
very extensive, are possessed of many attractive features. 
Numerous shrubs were in flower, among which were noted Berberis 
vulgaris, B. Darwinii, Azalea pontica, Weigelia rosea, and various 
bright-flowered species of Rhododendron. The most remarkable 
tree was a Rowan (Pyrus Aucuparia), in the House Park, north-
