Geocache Description:

This cache is hidden in Dunoon on Castle hill not to far from the Highland Mary Statue. There is plenty of parking at N55 56.714 W004 55.385

This cache is owned by andrewmcc, I live near Big Lake N 45 23.128 W093 40.930 Minnesota USA (near Minneapolis). I searched out a geocacher with near by caches to trade caches on both sides of the ocean. Big Rab emailed me back. He is hiding and going to maintain it for me. I am looking to hide a cache for Big Rab near the Mississippi River.
My mom and dad met here in Dunoon at the Argyll Hotel where my mom worked and dad came to do some country dancing. Mom is from South Uist and Dad born in Glasgow and moved here to Dunoon. Dad passed away in 2006 and has this area engraved on their memorial stone.

How sweetly bloom'd the gay green birk,
How rich the hawthorn's blossom,
As underneath their fragrant shade
I clasp'd her to my bosom!
The golden hours on angel wings
Flew o'er me and my dearie;
For dear to me as light and life
Was my sweet Highland Mary.

Robert Burns
