Geocache Description:

This cache is one of a set of caches found along the roadside as you take the circular walk (preferable) or drive around the island of Rousay. The island contains some of the richest and best preserved monuments in the North of Scotland, which are free to enter. There are good car parking areas near all the major heritage sites. The Rousay Heritage Centre is well worth a visit giving a good overview of Rousay past and present.

Wasbister Loch is the site of two crannogs or Iron Age fortified settlements build on artificial islands. There are fine views across Saviskaill Bay (where seals haul out) towards the cliffs at Faraclett Head as well as towards the Island of Westray.

The cache is a 35mm film canister with log and pencil.
