The largest and most extensive group of prehistoric cup-and-ring marked rock carvings in Scotland exists at Achnabreck in Argyll.

Although no full understanding of what the purpose of this art form was, similarities can be identified in the overall form and plan shape of Broch sites some millennia later.
