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 mineral oil industry (using cannel coal and shale) was founded by James Young, and was almost unique to West Lothian. But after pioneering the global oil industry, West Lothian's shale industry fell victim to cheaper oil imports and closed down in 1962.
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.
