Geocache Description:

Traditional cache near the Brig o' Balgownie.

Brig o' Balgownie is a 13th century bridge spanning River Don. Construction of the bridge was begun in the late 13th century by Richard Cementarius, although its completion was not until 1320 at the time of the Scottish War of Independence. After falling into disrepair in the mid 16th century it was extensively renovated in 1605.

The bridge is constructed of granite and sandstone. Its single gothic arch has span of over 12 metres and at low tide the apex of the arch lies over 17 metres above the water-line.

The bridge ceased to be a major route in 1830 when the new Bridge of Don was built five hundred yards downstream. Today it is open to foot and bicycle traffic only.

The container is a 450ml waterproof container that holds a pencil, logbook, a sheet about geocaching and has some room for travellers. Please place the cache exactly as you found it.

Cache has been replaced on a different location on the 22.9.2011 so asking for hint from people who found it before this date is pointless
