A quick cache and dash on the main road through Glen Convinth near the TV transmitter over the top of the hill, which serves approximately 700 homes and is part of the Rosemarkie TV transmitter group.

Glen Convinth is a glen in Kiltarlity and Convinth parish, Inverness-shire, traversed by Belladrum Burn, which, rising at an altitude of 780 feet above sea-level, winds 7 miles northward, till, after a descent of 758 feet, it falls into the river Beauly, just below Beaufort Castle, 4 miles SSW of Beauly town. Glenconvinth takes up a road from Strathglass to Glenurquhart and Loch Ness. It received its name from an ancient nunnery, traces of whose chapel may still be seen 2 ½ miles S of Kiltarlity church.

There are plans for a wind farm in the forest on the opposite side of the road which is why you will see many 'No Wind Farm Here' banners on your approach to this cache.
