A series of caches on a circular walk from Braco, numbered clockwise (dexter) but you can do them anyway you like..
The series cache titles (titulus) and description (genus) reflect the historical Roman importance of this area.
We had to have a wee dig at the Romans, though....after all what did they do for us???
A precipitous cache above the waterfall at the Devil's Pool.
Watch that the Devil doesn't E clunibus tractum.
[DIS AUGUSTI]S TIBERIÉUM
[...PO]NTIUS PILATUS
[...PRAEF]ECTUS IUDA[EA]E
[...FECIT D]E[DICAVIT]
The Pilate Stone is the name given to a block of limestone with a carved inscription attributed to Pontious Pilate, a prefect of the Roman-controlled province of Judea from 26–36. The stone is significant because it is the only universally accepted archaeological find with an inscription mentioning the name "Pontius Pilatus" to date. According to the legend, Pointius Pilate was related to the Scottish King, Metallanus, whose home was a hill fortress called Dun Geal (the White Fort), at Fortingall. Pilate was supposedly born beneath the branches of the Fortingall yew. Romans did have military stations going over the Gask Ridge from Ardoch (Braco) to around Perth.
Translated the partial inscription on the stone reads
To the Divine Augusti [this] Tiberieum
...Pontius Pilate
...prefect of Judea
...has dedicated [this]
Just a quick note regarding the Terrain grading of this cache at 3* We accept that for some people the scramble down to the cache will be a walk in the park, We have graded the Terrain to take into account the close proximity of the potentially dangerous waterfall especially for children and dogs. The rocks here can be slippy in Winter or after rainfall (quite common in these parts) There have been accidents here so still take care even if you think it is a very easy walk to the cache
