Geocache Description:

Muckle Flugga is a small rocky island north of Unst in the Shetland Islands. It is often described as the northernmost point of Scotland, but the smaller islet of Out Stack is actually farther north. It used to be the northernmost inhabited island, but forfeited that accolade when the lighthouse was automated and the last residents moved out.

This cache is not at the listed coordinates.

To solve this cache, you need to learn about the northernmost lighthouse in Scotland.



The coordinates of the Muckle Flugga lighthouse are N AB deg CD.EFG minutes, W HI deg JK.LMN minutes

GZ is found at
S35o (A-C)(A+D).(C+D+E)(B+C+E)(A+B+E)'
E149o H(J+L).JH(J+K)'
