The Scott Russell Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Deceangi: Rather than keep this cache temporarily disabled (which should only be used for shortish periods) I'm archiving it. If/when the cache is ever replaced I'll gladly unarchive it assuming it still meets the guidelines.

Please avoid geolitter by removing any remaining traces of your cache or contact a local cacher to do so for you. If you are having difficulty doing so then please contact me via my profile and I will try to get someone to assist. This is particularly important if your cache appears to contain Travelbugs or Geocoins.

Geocache Description:

A small cache hidden nearby to the Scott Russell Aquaduct.

As this is my first cache any feedback would be welcome.

John Scott Russell was born John Russell on 9 May 1808 in Parkhead, Glasgow, the son of David Russell and Agnes Clark Scott. In 1834, while conducting experiments to determine the most efficient design for canal boats, he discovered a phenomenon that he described as the wave of translation. This was near this aquaduct that is why it is named after him.

This cache is hidden near to the Scott Russell Aquaduct over the Edinburgh bypass. It is not on the aquaduct as it is overlooked by offices and the bypass.

This cache seems to be having co-ordinate problems so here's another set by Haggis Hunter. N 55° 55.289 W 003° 18.521
