Geocache Description:

This cache has been placed by the nearest Trig point to Dundonald ( trig number BM S4304 ). The co-ordinates are for the trig point, an OS map and compass when at the trig point may be an asset to locating the cache. On clear days there are panoramic views over Ayrshire and beyond. This cache is not recommended for unaccompanied children, due to the country road being busy at times.
