The 'ford' mentioned by Jolly could not be found, but here are several stretches of the Allt Ruadh, where it joins the River Nairn, where a ford would be possible. Despite an extensive search of both banks of the stream and river no trace of the cup marked stone could be found. Visited by OS (R B) 21 August 1964.
