Geocache Description:

The cache is located in a regular sized container, close to a well maintained trail quite deep into the forest roughly 3km from Tentsmuir carpark or 5km if coming from Tayport.

The March Stone was placed in the late 1700s. At that time the high water mark was very close to the structure. Over the years as the foreshore built
eastward, the Ice House and the March Stone have become further from the sea.

The March Stone was erected as a boundary marker for fishing rights in 1794. The term ‘march stone’ comes from the 16th-century meaning of ‘march’ as a boundary.

The inscriptions on the stone read:
‘This stone was set up in the year 1794. The march between the Shanwell and Old Muirs salmon fishing is a straight line from the top of Norman’s Law to the low water. This march stone stands in the said
straight line.'

Cache should be relatively easy to find, large cache quite close to the March Stone. Please to care to conceal when replacing cache.

Cache contains a travel bug, GeoCoin an I-Pod sock for FTF and a host of other goodies.
