Geocache Description:

Flat walk along a track, then a well worn path under trees. A popular dog walking area.

From the cache you get views of Huntingtower Castle, and the hills beyond.

Best approached from the south, where there is parking at Noah's Ark, or the Golf Driving Range, and follow the right of way sign.

If approaching from the north, it is a private road for pedestrians only.

Huntingtower Castle was originally two towers, that was later joined together to form the large Castle you see today.

The Castle also has a romantic tale to tell. Dorothea, daughter of the first Earl of Gowrie is said to have leapt between the tops of the two towers of the castle, a distance of 9 feet 4 inches, in retreat from her mother as she was almost discovered when visiting her lover in his chamber (doubtless deliberately located by her mother in the other tower). The mother was reassured to find her daughter in her own bed that night, and her lover alone in his: but was probably less impressed when the couple eloped the next day. To this day the gap between the towers is know as The Maiden's Leap

Cache container is a tiny lock n lock container, taking only very tiny swaps. BYOP
