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.


Margaret (Maighread) known as ‘The Maid of Norway’ was just under 3 years old when her grandfather Alexander died in 1286 and she succeeded to the title of Queen of Scotland. She was born in Norway and had never set foot in Scotland.

A marriage deal was negotiated in 1290 with King Edward I that she would marry his young son the future Edward II. In September she sailed from Norway but never arrived, as she died aged 7 of sea sickness in or near the Orkneys during the voyage.

Her death left turmoil as there was no clear successor to the Scottish throne.
