Rhu Peninsula (originally known as the Rhu Arisaig peninsula) is a small, remote and largely deserted peninsula, at the south west corner of South Morar in Lochaber Highland council area, on the west coast of Scotland. Rhu peninsula is some five miles long with a maximum width of two miles, orientated on a west-by-south direction, on the west coast of Scotland, directly opposite the island of Eigg that sits some 7 miles from the western tip of the peninsula. The peninsula is largely forested at the east end. It has a tracked road running along the northern coast. The village of Arisaig is located on the coast to the north-east, slightly north of the peninsula.
The Rhuemach Hill trigpoint pillar sits at a height of 103m and offers great views over the peninsula and the islands out to sea. The geocache is hidden close by - please ensure it is well hidden and secure before you leave as this is a very remote place to visit. There is a path to the trigpoint, a waypoint is provided - it is always boggy so appropriate footwear will be required.
About Ye Ole Survey Monuments

Ye Ole Survey Monument (YOSM) is a captivating series of caches that pays homage to the remarkable legacy of OutForTheHunt's YSM series (GC45CC).
YOSM caches are strategically positioned at or near Trig Points. These triangulation stations have played a pivotal role as surveying landmarks, contributing to the mapping of expansive territories.
Some of these points, bearing historical significance, might now be situated on private land or have vanished with time. As a result, the caches are artfully placed in close proximity, reverently acknowledging the historical importance of these survey monuments.

If anybody would like to expand the Ye Ole Survey Monuments Series, please do.
I would ask that you request a number for your cache first at www.yosm.org.uk
so we can keep track of the numbers and names to avoid duplication.
