Geocache Description:


It started in Dalry, in Ayrshire. It came to Edinburgh, pausing overnight by the woods on Redford Road. The Pentland Uprising was not a success.

Aftermarks are scattered around. Northwards, the hanging cross in Edinburgh's Grassmarket, the Old Pentland Cemetery to the east and the lonely Covenanter's Grave on Black Law looking west. All came after this.

This was the bloody end. A cold winter's night in 1666. Rullion Green.




When the cache was set, twenty metres from the memorial, there were newborn in the field to the east. During lambing season, eg March - May, approaching through the woods is probably best. There are signs that point the way.
