Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the above co-ordinates - solve the puzzle to work out where! cache is a film canister with a tiny pencil

Dundee - Famous for so many things....

       .............RRS Discovery, Jute Mills, The Law, Marmalade, The Tay Railway Bridge......

Dundee was the second city in the world to have a telephone service (Just beaten by London), was the first city in the world with electric street lights. Without inventions from Dundee, there would be no submarine telephone cable, adhesive postage stamps, "hole in the wall" cash machines or many of the top computer games (GO LEMMINGS!!)

Famous Dundonians include The actor Brian Cox, the inventor of marmalade Janet Keillor, "Bonnie Dundee" John Graham- Viscount of Claverhouse, Athlete Liz McColgan, Boxer Dick Taggart, Poet(?)and Tragedian Sir William Topaz McGonagall, Knight of the White Elephant of Burmah and Author Mary Shelley

Yes, even just scratching the surface it is plain to see that without Dundee and the Dundonians, the world would be a much different place. There is however one famous son of Dundee whom we havent mentioned yet - the most famous of them all - his birthplace, the offices of DC Thompson (where the above co-ordinates will take you)YES! - Dennis the Menace!!

The final co-ordinates will take you to another one of Dundees hidden gems, in the shadows of Dennis' birthplace

Worked out coordinates may be slightly off. Try taking 006 from the N answer and 004 from the W if you are having problems.
