Geocache Description:

Cache is a lock & lock box

The Caterans were marauding cattle thieves who flourished in the more lawless regions of the Highlands from the Middle Ages until the 17th century. More feared than wolves, cateran raiding parties numbered anything from 50 to 500 fierce warriors.

Favouring dark nights, and often remarkably well informed about their targets, they would descend on richer neighbours when they were off guard. Weddings and other festivities often provided an opportunity for a raid and many revellers would sober up to find their folds empty and their cattle gone.

The small granite slab cave is where a Cateran would guard his booty. There is enough for one person! dont believe try it.

This cache is one of a series of caches from Dunkeld to Glen Doll, 50 miles.
