One of three Geocaches i have placed round the Forest of Binn.
It might be called ‘the Bin’ but it’s got nothing to do with rubbish! This site takes its unusual sounding name from the Gaelic for hill or mountain – bheinn (pronounced ‘ben’).
Bin forest was first planted in the 1840s with fir tree seeds brought back from North America by the famous Scottish plant-hunter David Douglas. Originally planted to supply timber, this forest now offers much more than just wood.
At the time of placement the area round the cache had been deforested, leading to amazing views across the countryside. i guess it will take years for the new trees to start of, so for a while you can stop and admire the landscape.
