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.

At the north end of the bridge is an engraved stone with ‘Jubilee 1887’ on it. This commemorates the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria.

There was initially a ford near the site of this bridge which was followed by a footbridge and later by a timber bridge suitable for wheeled traffic and finally the bridge you can see today. In his book ‘Glen Tanar – Valley of echoes and hidden treasurers’ Francois Louis Pierre Fouin states that this bridge was built by John Burgess, a builder from Aboyne at a cost of £70.
