Geocache Description:

The Kings Power Trail was created because there were no caches on the King Vaughan Line. As we drive it almost every day, we noticed that there were so many potential cool hiding spots. The brothers had lots of fun putting the trail together. Hope you have as much fun as we did.

The trail runs the entire length of the King Vaughan Line and then some. Please be careful there can be a fair bit of traffic at times. Pull off to the side of the road as far as possible and be cautious when getting out of your vehicle. Some of the caches have parking coordinates, please use them. They have be selected for your safety.


Donald (Domnall mac Donnchada) was a son of Duncan I and younger brother of Malcolm III. He was called Domnall Bán or Donald Bane (Donald the Fair or White). He was in exile at the time of his bother’s death and rushed to claim the throne.

He was soon challenged by his nephew Duncan, son of Malcolm, and in 1094 was driven out by Duncan who was backed by the English King William II. However a few months later Duncan II as he was known was killed at the Battle of Monthechin, Kincardine, and Donald Bane returned as King.

Donald jointly ruled with his nephew Edmund but both were deposed in 1097 by Edgar, another son of Malcolm, who had Donald blinded and imprisoned. Donald died a broken man in prison at Rescobie, Forfarshire, in 1099
