George Currie (musician)

George Currie (born 14 January 1950) is a Scottish musician and amateur archaeologist.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Currie was the lead guitarist with the band Darts, and as an amateur archaeologist has discovered some 680 of the 3,000 known prehistoric rock carvings in Scotland.

He left the band in 1980 to teach music theory and guitar, and also to pursue his passion for hillwalking.

In 2009 he found an especially impressive example bearing more than 90 cup marks at Ben Lawers, near Loch Tay.

[5][6] Currie's finds will form part of a five-year research project starting in 2017 to 2D and 3D map all known examples of rock art in Scotland, funded by Historic Environment Scotland (HES) under the direction of Dr Tertia Barnett, an honorary fellow of the University of Edinburgh.
