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.

This cache is well worth a visit to see the large lump of Portland stone that was placed near to the cache site several years ago. The inscription "Gods of the Earth - Gods of the Sea" on the stone is thought provoking as you stand and appreciate its wonderful location with fine views towards the island of Westray and the other North Isles and, in particualar, across Saviskaill Bay towards Wasbister.

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