Geocache Description:

Magnetic nano. Bring a pen. Carnoustie is home to the Dibble Tree, an ancient willow listed as one of Scotland's 100 greatest heritage trees. A great easterly storm on 27/12/23 brought a lot of the tree down, but the trunk remains and it is hoped it will regrow. If not, dibbles from the tree have been planted in various places.

The co-ordinates will take you to the Dibble Tree garden, with a sycamore at the roadside and what remains of the Dibble Tree at the back.  Legend has it that a local farmer, Tammas Louson , left his dibble stick in a field and that stick grew into the great tree. A dibble is a (willow) branch used to make holes in the ground for planting seeds. Louson descendants still have a presence in Carnoustie

Look at the plaque

Tammas planted a dibble in A79B               Cuttings were taken in 19CD                    The tree is more than E00 years old 

The final coordinates are not far away at N56 EC. (A+D) (ExE) C      W002 4E. (D-A) C (B-E)

There are other nearby caches. You can walk all over the golf courses. Note that if a red flag is flying at the south end of the beach the path to the lighthouses will be closed.
