The co-ordinates above can be completed by visiting the Heritage Trail and finding the answers to the clues below. The Waypoints take you along the trail and to different information boards along the way. The final cache is not within the trail itself, so there is no need to search amongst the flagstones etc!
Cache placed with kind permission of Paul Castle, Countryside Ranger, Seadrift Visitor Centre, Dunnet and the acknowledgement of Jayne Blackburn, Castletown Heritage Society.

This is my most northerly cache so far, normally based around Aberdeen, so I'd also like to thank my parents [vintage spec] to agreeing to any maintenance required on this one. They will, of course, have to find it first to know where it is located!!!
