The Scots Pine is one of my favourite trees. It has a
distinctive shape, making it easily identified from a distance. The
needles are bluish green, about 4 to 7cms long and are attached in
pairs. Its bark is red on young branches and turns greyish
brown on older trees. The deep rugged texture is also a good
way to recognise the Scots Pine.

The cache is hidden near the footpath which follows the
Killandean Burn. Parking is limited near the cache. It
is best to use the public carpark at the given coordinates.
PS. We took part in Us 4 and Jess's Secret Santa last
Christmas. Thank you to our Geo-Santa for the container and
swag items!
