This is the first cache in a letterbox series inspired by the Geological Wall at St Andrews.
The Geological Wall contains 22 rocks collected from all over Fife. A leaflet created by the St Andrews Geological Heritage Project gives details of each rock, along with O.S. grid references of their source localities. Hopefully this series will end up taking geocachers to each of these localities. It is my intention to hide the caches as close as possible to the grid references given in the leaflet - this may mean that the caches are not necessarily going to be hidden in scenic, historical or interesting places! The information about the rock given below has been adapted from the Geological Wall leaflet.
Massive Limestone has been mined and quarried for the production of lime in the Cults area of Fife for over three centuries. Indeed, in the late 17th century Cults limestone was used in the renovation of the chapel at St Salvators College in St Andrews.
Park at N56 15.899 W003 03.774. I would advise you to follow the track which leads up past the large rusty barrier and then approach the cache by heading left through the field. This will save you having to battle your way through the wooded area, which also contains steep drops and uneven terrain. In addition when we set this cache, the field was absolutely packed full of tall buttercups which made for an amazing sight.
Cache contains log book, wooden stamp and ink pad only (and something to write with of course!)
