Geocache Description:

A brilliant view of the carse near Perth from an ancient tower

For this virtual cache you will find a small parking area at N56 23.475 / W03 21.999 and you can pick up the trail by walking up the gated drive and taking either a left or right turn on the trail (its circular). One way is much easier than the other but I won't tell you which one it is! When scouting this cache out my father-and-law and I discovered what appeared to be some renovation work done to the old (medieval?) tower. However, it looks like the project was given up some time ago, but they've left behind much building materials. The tower door was swinging open and I was able to ascend up many stories in the spiral staircase for an even more impressive view of the valley below. If you do this, be very careful as much of this castle/tower is weather beaten and in a sad state of repair near the upper floors. To prove you've visited this cache, upload a picture of yourself with the tower. Sorry I had to do this, another cacher has placed a cache 89ft away and put a picture of the tower in the listing. Isn't this against the rules??
