Geocache Description:

A mole is a massive wall, usually of stone construction, used as a breakwater and built to enclose or protect an anchorage or harbour. Built in the early nineteenth century, Scalasaig harbour was probably built to the design of Thomas Telford.

The cache is above the landward end of the mole and involves some scrambling across rocks and grass slopes. At low tide you can walk across the harbour. If the tide is in follow the shore in front of the coastguard shed. 

The cache is a small klik-lock container, but large enough to hold small trackables.  The original contents are four RSPB chough pin badges and a Saltire trackable. 

Please replace carefully to protect from the elements. Congrats to catkilma for FTF
