The cache can be found near to a trigpoint called 'The Mound Lickprivick'.
Trigpoints are the common name for "triangulation pillars". These are concrete pillars, about 4' tall, which were used by the Ordnance Survey in order to determine the exact shape of the country. They are generally located on the highest bit of ground in the area, so that there is a direct line of sight from one to the next. By sitting a theodolite (an accurate protractor built into a telescope) on the top of the pillar, accurate angles between pairs of nearby trigpoints could be measured. This process is called "triangulation". A major project to map out the shape of Great Britain began in 1936. The network of triangulation pillars, with accurately known positions, led to the excellent OS maps which we enjoy today. The coordinate system used on these maps is known as the "National Grid" (from Trigpointinguk.com).
There are great views from here in all directions. You can see Whitelee Wind Farm, Duncolm, Earls Seat, Tinto, Corse Hill, Ben Lomond and Ben Ledi. The elevation at this point is 223 metres.
it would be sensible to avoid this area at night as there tends to be some activity from the local youth which might interfere a bit with finding the cache. Also, you don't get much of a view at night!
