One ruin remains though, what appears to be an abandoned water mill, which was part of the Jenny’s Bog croft. There doesn’t seem to be much information available about the building, but it is on the 1868 and 1925 Ordnance Survey maps along with an associated dam.
The ruin seems to be a simple affair built of rough stone and was presumably used for grinding meal.
Given the size of the tree on the site, it is a long time since the building had a roof. The wheel is long gone but the sluiceway and the location of the wheel are visible.
The area can be a bit overgrown with nettles in the summer so long trousers are recommended and the trail can be muddy, especially where cut up by mountain bikes so sturdy waterproof boots are also a good idea.
The recommended route is to follow the trail from the small parking area across the road from the stables at Bossholes Farm. There is a direct ‘muddy motorway’ used by the mountain bikers but it is more pleasant to follow less churned up tracks following a derelict fence closer to the burn. The trail initially runs next to a fence separating the forest from a field used by the livery stables, at the end of the field, when you get to a junction at N56 58.971 W002 18.950, keep right. There are white plastic tape markers along the trail. If visiting all the caches you can follow the trail there and back or return from Burn of Day cache via the west bank of the burn as far as the ford, which is normally easily crossed if the weather has been dry, making a more circular route.
The key to getting to both this cache and the original Burn of Day cache is to look for a gap in the fence close to the trees at the bottom of the clearing that was once Jenny's Bog N 56° 58.453 W 002° 18.785 . Do not try and take a direct route through the thick gorse.
Room for some swaps, please make sure the container is sealed and not damaged when you replace it
Before a forest visit, remember to clean your shoes, bike, any toys or equipment and your dog too. Just take a moment to brush off any visible dirt, and give everything a good wash. This helps slow disease spread, preserving our woodlands now and for future generations. http://scotland.forestry.gov.uk/keep-it-clean
