Geocache Description:


Cache is placed on the edge of Elibank & Traquair Forest which is located in the Tweed Valley to the south of Innertheithen in the Scottish Borders.

Thrill seeking has been a feature of this forest since 1107. In bygone days it was for hunting and horse-riding. Today the riding tradition, both horse-back and bike, continues.

This is the largest woodland in the Tweed Valley and includes some of the oldest surviving woodland to be found in the Forest Park. The area also has important links with dramatic periods of turbulent Borders history.

In 1107, King Alexander I signed a charter to ensure these hills became a nobleman's playground for centuries to come, with forests maintained for hunting and riding. Traquair, with its important historical house, has also witnessed turbulent times during some of the most important periods of Scottish history and is well worth a visit.
