Geocache Description:

The Devil's Beef Tub is one of the most iconic landmarks in the south of Scotland. It is a cavernous hollow in the hills where the notorious Border Reivers once hid their stolen cattle. The Devil's Beef Tub forms part of Corehead, a stunning area of the land in the heart of the Southern Upland hills of Scotland which also includes Hart Fell, the one of the highest hills in Dumfriesshire.

Corehead has great cultural and historical significance. It is most famous for its association with William Wallace, whose sister married the laird of Corehead Tower, Sir Thomas Halliday. Wallace is reputed to have gathered men from the Ettrick Forest and the Border clans at Corehead and from the Tower led his first attack against the English in 1297. The Border clans of the Ettrick Forest and Corehead area include Armstrong, Douglas, Kerr, Oliver, Moffat and Graham.
