Fall In Multi-Cache

A multi-cache at Polmaise Murray Mining Museum.  The coordinates are for the car park at the museum which is an outdoor display.  All the information you need to solve the final coordinates can be found at the museum and at a nearby way point.

"In the carse of Polmaise there's a hole in the ground

Where the borders have bored and the coal has been found

The hefty geologists kicked up a din

Then built a new city and called it Fallin"
