Geocache Description:

Lovely walk near the Dullan - the Giant Chair Path - however leading very close to the backyard of the Dufftown Distillery.


Leave the car near the Dufftown Distillery and follow the sign to the food path towards Giant Chair. You will cross the Dullan and turn right. It's a lovely walk, perfect to walk the dogs. There are several benches on the way to give you the chance to relax.

Soon you will be very close to the Dufftown Distillery, which lies just accross at the other side of the Dullan.

The Dufftown distillery was built in 1895 by wine merchant Peter Mackenzie, John Symon, Richard Stackpole and Charles MacPherson. Producton began a year later. The Dufftown distillery sits not far from its namesake town and not far from where the Rivers Dullan and Fiddich conjoin in liquid matrimony. In the Conval Hills, Jock’s Well rises and from here Dufftown draws its cooling waters. The distillery was bought from the original owners in 1933 by Arthur Bell and Sons for the sum of £56,000.

Please use the offical walking well signed path towards Giant Chair to reach the cache site. There is no access to the cachesite from or through the Distillery Grounds! The cache is hidden near the back-entrance to the distillery, near a small bridge which is not accessible for unauthorised people. There is a small concrete wall next to the path where you can sit down and relax a while. The cache is a small petling. Please bring your own pen.

Congratulation to Alo Fox and Scoobydoopoo for beeing the FTF here ;-)
