The hamlet of Climpy lies on the B715 about 1.1/2km from Forth which is situated near Lanark on the A706, it can also be reached from the A71 Kilmarnock to Edinburgh road midway between Allanton and Breich.
The Blacklaw wind farm on the Muldron moor will contain 62 wind turbines and will have a generating capacity of 142.6 MW. the site is a former opencast coalmine.
Forth is first mentioned in a great seal charter of 1599. East and West Forth Farms are mentioned in a Crown Charter dated 14th June 1634 as part of the Barony of Carnwath, although the area is thought to be inhabited by the Damnoniiover tribe over 2000 years ago. It is twinned with Yvetot and Hemmingen and stands almost 1000 feet above sea level, with a population of just under 3000.
The name Forth, otherwise known as 'The Forth', is thought to mean "the open air", as this can be found in the Chambers Scots Dictionary. There are various other views on this, including the fourth stop on the mail coach run.
In February 2003 the village appeared on the CIA's website and when The Daily Record newspaper enquired about the listing the entry suddenly vanished.
Close to the cache site at NS93345532 lies a bunker an ORLIT "B" similar to Billy Twigger's Protect & Survive cache site.
The cache is a small Tupperware type box.
