Cochno Stone

Cutting-edge digital technology meets Scotland’s Neolithic Past.

[Alison Douglas @Alison_Douglaz]

The @cochnostone and the #FaifleyRocks landscape SHOULD be on this list. WHY... OH WHY has there STILL been ZERO moves - even after TWO (yes two!) Parliamentary motions - to excavate, and protect, these Neolithic masterpieces. It's shameful.

[Cochno Stone @cochnostone]

Sadly, I (@Alison_Douglaz ) am not involved in the project this year. Please follow @urbanprehisto for updates regarding #FaifleyRocks

[Kenny Brophy @urbanprehisto]

The @UofGArchaeo fieldschool moves to Faifley for next 10 days. We'll be digging around more rock-art sites @ Auchnacraig near @cochnostone. Sadly we can't have helpers on site this time around but do come & visit! For updates check #FaifleyRocks #AC21

Or on a Rock-art centre in Clydebank housing the most important Neolithic monument in ALL of the UK 😁 @cochnostone @FionaHyslop

The latest Chalkno Stone @cochnostone was created by pupils of Gartocharn Primary in West Dunbartonshire this afternoon in the sunshine. #FaifleyRocks @WDCHeritage @WDCouncil

Alas! After a looooong break I need to remember to login to update yous on the FANTASTIC work Dr B is doing!!

[Kenny Brophy @urbanprehisto]

This talk was something of an end to first part of the #FaifleyRocks! story, and the beginning of a renewal of the project with activities resuming this month and over the summer. For the next @cochnostone talk I give I'll have new stories to tell.

[Cochno Stone @cochnostone]

Brilliant 🤩. #FaifleyRocks In today's @clydebankpost. Thank you to @GilMPaterson for his support over the last 5 years! A well deserved retirement 👏

#FaifleyRocks is featured in today's @clydebankpost! @urbanprehisto

[Dig It! @DigItScotland]

Around 5,000 years ago, people carved cup-and-ring marks across the landscape - and a West Dunbartonshire estate has one of the richest concentrations in central Scotland 😮

Dig into recent work with the Cochno Stone (the most significant site) on Friday: https://t.co/UmzTIxngcs

Great pictures of the @cochnostone that I haven't seen before #FaifleyRocks!

I enjoyed giving a #FaifleyRocks talk to the Baldernock Local History Group last night. As has been the norm for such zoom talks, two audience members remember visiting the @cochnostone as kids before it was buried. I love hearing their stories. https://t.co/K3E6MrSI3W

Many thanks to @GilMPaterson for his continued support regarding the @cochnostone and #FaifleyRocks projects and passing a motion in the Scottish parliament today 😊.

[Kenny Brophy @urbanprehisto]

@Fossilbeetle It's the best rock art site in Scotland .... except for the @cochnostone of course!

[Taryn Mórag Gouck @thegouck]

In the mean time... researching some Archaeology and History stuff, to write a kiddies/toddler book.

Primarily aimed for my kiddies, but may offer to @BoghallN if they want it. Hopefully written by summer 🤷🏻‍♀️

@cochnostone will be featured 😉
