The series consists of traditional 8 caches, each will give you one half of the co-ordinates to a further 4 caches. Those 4 caches give the co-ords for 2 further caches, which in turn give you the co-ords for the final cache of the series.
The West Lothian area has been extensively mined for a variety of minerals and metals, so much that parts of the county appear to be hollow!
From the mid-nineteenth century, the shale and coal industries became of major importance to West Lothian. Tens of thousands were employed, or were dependent on ancillary industries.
The last deep coal mine in West Lothian - Polkemmet - closed in 1984-85. Today the most visible reminder of mining's heyday is its bings. Some have been landscaped to look like natural hills; others, like the remarkable Five Sisters bing near West Calder, now have protected status as industrial monuments.
Forestry work has been ongoing since the storms in January, and some areas are cordoned off.
Please respect the notices and do not enter areas which have been restricted.
Thanks to the Beecraigs Country Park Rangers for allowing these caches to be placed.
