Geocache Description:


Mapping Memorials to Women in Scotland is a website (http://www.womenofscotland.org.uk) which was created to record and map the many memorials which commemorate the lives and achievements of women in Scotland.

 There are geocaches at some of these memorials already but I thought I would set some more based around memorials that currently don’t have a cache.

 

This memorial garden contains two large stones listing 21 famous Fochaberians, including Ethelreda Baxter, who founded Baxters with her husband William, and Jane Maxwell, Duchess of Gordon, who raised the Gordon Highlanders regiment in 1794.

The above co-ordinates are for the memorial garden. There is parking next to it. 

 

To find the northerlies look for Ethelreda Baxter's name then look at the two lines immediately below.

A. Looking at both lines, how many letter “O”s are there?

B. Number of letters in last word of second line

C. Looking at both lines, how many letter “M”s are there?

D. Number of letters in first word of second line

 

To find the westerlies look for Jane Maxwell’s name then look at the two lines immediately below.

E. Number of letters in second word of first line

F. How many letter “O”s in the second line?

G. Number of letters in first word of second line
