Geocache Description:

A cache placed next to the Waterloo Tower, a category B listed folly off Linburn Road near Kirknewton / Wilkieston. Access involves some rough (and possibly muddy) ground, so unsuitable for buggies or wheelchairs I'm afraid.

Despite a lot of Googling to write this cache page, I couldn't find much information on the folly at all. I am guessing it was constructed by the owners of the former Hatton House mansion to the North, but can't find anything to support this theory. If anyone can send me in additional information, I will gladly add it to this page!

I have added a suggested parking co-ordinate, as Linburn Road is quite narrow and the cache is near a blind corner. The parking location is the entrance to two fields on the opposite side of the road to the tower, so please take care not to block access if possible.
