The Hill Fort. Be careful with children as the cache is near a steep drop.
This is the second of a series of four caches on Gillies Hill. Although each cache can be completed separately there are numbers within each cache which when added together will give the co-ordinates to a fifth hidden cache on the Hill.
Please note that this is no longer the case as the final cache has been muggled too many times and is now a stand alone traditional placed in a new location. It is called Polmaise Castle.
Park on the Old Drove Road at N 56º 06.452 W 003º 58.623. There is a map here also which will help you choose the easiest path to the fort.
There are spectacular views from the top which is only a few yards further on so be sure to take your camera. The cache was moved from the viewpoint because it has been muggled twice.
The bronze and iron age forts high on this escarpment were excavated in 1984 and Neolithic remains were uncovered. These finds have been rather inconclusively carbon dated between 800 and 200 years BC. Nevertheless people have lived on or near this site for thousands of years.
Be sure to look at the beautiful gnarled Scots pines which frame the view.
