This is a short trail, going round in a loop, where you can hunt the “Fairy Trail” and the “Ruff Road”.
You can start from the car park at the castle (Cache 1: Log the Fairy Door) and take a leisurely walk through the Chinese Garden, down the hill towards the Fairy Glen, along the shores of Loch Lomond, before heading back up the hill to the castle. Shouldn’t take much more than an hour.
This is a popular place for dog walkers, and the “Ruff Road” is dedicated to my favourite animal.
The caches are small, you might need tweezers. Please replace exactly as found and ensure they are closed properly.
Rottweiler
The Rottweiler is a breed of domestic dog, regarded as medium-to-large or large. The dogs were known in German as Rottweiler Metzgerhund, meaning Rottweil butchers' dogs, because their main use was to herd livestock and pull carts laden with butchered meat to market. This continued until the mid-19th century when railways replaced droving. Although still used to herd stock in many parts of the world, Rottweilers are now also used as search and rescue dogs, as guard dogs, and as police dogs. Temperament: Fearless, Steady, Good-natured, Devoted, Obedient, Self-assured, Alert, Confident
