An easy drive by cache near the Lyness Pier on the Island of Hoy.
During the 1920's Lyness was briefly the headquarters of the metal salvage firm of Cox and Danks's raising vessels of the German High Seas Fleet, scuttled by the Germans on June 21st 1919 during the Armistice.
During the Second World War it was home to HMS Proserpine, the main base for the naval fleet based at Scapa Flow.
There is a fabulous museum near the pier, and the Lyness Naval Cemetery, both of which are well worth a visit. For more information see the webpage noted above.
The cache is a small bottle with pencil and log.
