An ancient historic site in Scotland to be revealed for the first time in 40 years to under go 3D laser scans, known as the Cochno Stone.
The Cochno Stone is a large Cup and ring market rock at Auchnacraig, Faifley, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. The Bronze Age stone measuring 42 feet (13 m) by 26 feet (7.9 m) was rediscovered in 1887 by the Rev. James Harvey. It features around 90 carved indentations, considered to be one of the finest sets ofpetroglyphs in Scotland.
The petroglyphs also include a ringed cross and a pair of four toed feet. Researchers are now using cutting edge 3D imaging technology to record the ancient artwork to allow them to study it in more detail.
