Cock Robin Well is down a steep slope beside the water in Buckie Braes. From an square outcrop of stone on the opposite side of the water to the cache trickles water from a small spout, and you can just manage to read the name engraved in the stone above. A rusty ring hangs there, but the drinking cup has long since disappeared.
Buggy friendly from the north only.
This area is very popular with dog walkers so Stealth is required when retrieving the cache. The final hiding place is not suitable for young children as it is down a slippery slope. Watch out for the jaggy branches at the top of the slope ... I said WATCH OUT FOR THE JAGGY BRANCHES .. Ok then...
