Geocache Description:


The old pines trail takes you to the heart of Glen Tanar's magnificent forest and you are never far from the sparkling Water of Tanar. The path consists of a mixture of grass surfaces and crushed stone. The route is waymarked - follow the Pine Cone symbol on the waymarkers.



Please take note of any warning and information signs that the Ranger Service and the Estate have displayed.

The recommended starting point is from the Glen Tanar Visitor Centre. There is a 'pay and display' car park clearly signposted. These caches have been placed by agreement with Glen Tanar.

Sir William Cunliffe Brooks bought Glen Tanar estate from the Earl of Aboyne in 1865. Sir William loved placing carved stones round the estate and some of them have charming verses such as the inscribed stone here which starts with the line ‘The Pine is King of Scottish Woods”.
