Geocache Description:

This is our third cache in our series of cache's hidden with views of Loch's in Dumfries and Galloway. This one being a further off the beaten track. They will gradually become more difficult to find or access. Have hidden this one a little better than the previous two in the series (I hope).


This is a small cliplock box containing a log and space for small swapables. This cache is not actually at a Loch but at a reservoir, but it is still a lovely spot and the best of the 3 so far. The approach to the CZ is like driving through someones garden and the CZ is similarly looked after. Please use the style to access the CZ and the area around the boat house. The CZ is close to the Glenkiln Sculpure park which does have a couple of sculptures remaining.

Glenkiln Sculpture Park is a sculpture landscape in Dumfries and Galloway, south-west Scotland. It comprises six sculptures placed in a moorland setting around Glenkiln Reservoir.The sculptures are located around 4 kilometres north-west of Shawhead, and 12 kilometres west of Dumfries.

Between 1951 and 1976, local landowner Sir William Keswick assembled a collection of works by Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore, and Jacob Epstein Keswick worked with the artists in siting their works in a natural landscape, and commissioned works.

On 13 October 2013, the BBC reported that Standing Figure had been stolen.

All the sculptures except "Glenkiln Cross" have been removed for security reasons on police advice and are no longer available to view
