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.


Edgar (Étgar mac Maíl Choluim) was the 3rd son of Malcolm III. In 1097 King William II of England helped Edgar depose his brothers Donald and Edmund from the Scottish throne. His treaty with Magnus ‘Barefoot’ in 1098 allowed the Norse to regain many of the Western Isles. The marriage of his sister Edith to Henry I of England in 1100 brought peace and encouraged the settlement of Anglo Normans in the Scottish lowlands.

Edgar moved the royal residence from Dunfermline to Edinburgh. He died unmarried and was succeeded by his brothers Alexander and David.
