Contin Island is perhaps part of the original Gaelic Cunndainn or 'confluence of the waters' which is where Contin got its name.
The woodland on the southern part of the island is criss-crossed with rivulets and old water channels – many of which are quite deep and fast flowing at some times of the year. It is an alder (Feàrna) and ash (Uinnseann) woodland and has UK and international recognition for its special wildlife and dynamic pools and shingle.
NB: Tweezers are essential! This is a nano cache so the log is small. Please sign with initials and on both sides to save space!
Many thanks to Contin Church for their kind permission to place the caches on the island and to Contin Community Council for their support and permission to use photos and information from their Contin Island leaflet What Contin Means To Me.
