Loch of Blairs B - Tony Traditional Cache

One of a series of three, this is a small box in a camouflage bag. They are all placed at Loch of Blairs, 2 miles outside Forres. All caches can be accessed easily from the path around the loch. There are a couple of options for parking but we suggest the car park just off the side road (signposted Dallas Dhu off the A940)

***Well done theborderterriers for the FTF***

Loch of Blairs lies to the south of Forres on the A940 Forres/Grantown road. Find the loch on OS Map 27, Nairn, Scale:1:50,000 at grid reference 022555. The loch, situated in a private estate, is leased, managed and cared for by Moray Council.

Unlike most wild northern waters, Loch of Blairs is gently accommodating. Access is easy and visitors can step almost straight from the car and into the boat. The loch is 50 acres in extent and surrounded by mature woodlands.



The loch itself is home to a wide range of waterfowl, and a convenient larder for ospreys which may sometimes be seen taking the odd fish home for supper.

Your GPS might go a bit wild in the trees, but if it asks you to turn off the main path towards the loch you should be in the right place and your view will be as in the picture above...;-)
