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!
Graphite is another form of coal modified by high temperature, which was mined in Ayrshire at the Craigman Graphite Mine near New Cumnock.
It is a form of pure carbon with unusual properties.
It is composed of plate-like crystals which can slide over each other. It therefore acts like a lubricant. It was used for this purpose on the curtain lace manufacturing looms of the Irvine Valley in Ayrshire. It was used in preference to oil because it did not contaminate the cotton fabric being produced.
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.
