Clan McGillivary -Cheshire Cat Traditional Cache

Drumtochty Forest.Flat wide woodland paths some steep at times. There are quite high drops along some of the path areas so please watch if you have younger family or dogs. Points of intrest in the area Drumtochty castle. St Palladius church on the roadside and the Drumtochty Sitka.Opposite the car park. It is one of the biggest Sitka Spruce trees in Scotland; Forestry operations are on the go in the woodland so heed the signs where not to enter.

Drumtochty Forest and its adjoining neighbour, Fetteresso are the biggest forests in the area between Stonehaven and Banchory. Make sure you have the usual provisions water, snacks, map, gps ,suitable clothing well this is Scotland after all and Midge repellent. With the area being quite dense at times signal can be quite jumpy or in my experience the phone has no signal at all.Tree diseases and pests are posing an increasing threat to our forests and can be spread very quickly from forest to forest on muddy tyres, boots or paws. Please have a look at the link the forestry have asked to be displayed so we can all play our part.

"Well then," the Cat went on, "you see a dog growls when it's angry, and wags it's tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad.”

"We're all mad here"

"Please put everything back as you would find it and container closed properly thanks " said the CO
