Stewartry Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Stewartry Museum is a local museum in Kirkcudbright which covers the past history of this beautiful part of Galloway. One of its most important collections is that of the prehistoric rock art carvings which have been found in the region. The museum also stores some casts made from perhaps one of the finest examples of rock art carvings in the UK, called High Banks, a carving known for its use of cup marks to create its design. The area of Galloway has one of the highest concentrations of what are known as cup and ring carvings anywhere in the UK.
