Geocache Description:

They were The Warriors, the Hi Hi, the Thirds, -and people came in their droves to watch them perform the beautiful game here.

This virtual cache replaces the traditional cache The Hi Hi. This is an historic yet modern amphitheatre and today still stands as a memorial to the Third Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers.

The Third Lanark RV formed a football club on 12th December 1872, and played at Cathkin Park in the south side of Glasgow.

The park stood in the shadow of Hampden Park, Scotlandโ€™s national stadium. While Hampden remains home to Queens Park Football Club, sadly Third Lanark played their last ever match against Dumbarton FC on 28th April 1967 and a Court Order in June of 1967 finally closed the turnstiles at Cathkin Park forever.

I 'd hoped not to have to do this, not wanting to change Billy's original cache, but a plague of dodgy logs from people who appear to have been in China or Paraguay the day before leaves me no choice: To claim this as a find, please provide me with a photograph of the inscription on the stone at the above location, including self or GPSr in the picture.Logs not meeting this requirement will be deleted tout de suite.

There is parking at N55 49.830 W4 15.143, or on street at N55 49.845 W4 15.336
