For much of its history Aberdour was two villages, Wester Aberdour and Easter Aberdour, on either side of the Dour Burn; however this distinction was blurred by the 19th century arrival of the railway.
In the 18th century Aberdour's harbour was improved by the addition of a stone pier to help handle the coal traffic from nearby collieries. However, in the 1850s the traffic changed dramatically, and Aberdour Harbour became a popular destination for pleasure steamers from Leith. This in turn led to the building of a deeper water pier at Hawkcraig, allowing people to disembark when the tide was low.
The little wooden sentry box which slightly overhangs the harbour was used as the ticket booth for the cross Forth steamer trips, having purchased their tickets passengers young and old would excitedly wait for the pleasure steamer to arrive and within this area is where the cache can be located.
