Geocache Description:

Start of Road is full of potholes and then a track to the cache,parking is at the north side of the farm.
Strong buggy required and a child that does not mind bumps.

This is part of the Old Coach Road, the main route north for mail coaches 200 years ago. As it climbs to the shoulder of Gourdon Hill, a marvellous view extends southward to the cliffs of the Red Head, 16ml (26km) away.
From the crest of the hill, look seaward across the field to an irregular grassy ridge on the highest point of Gourdon Hill, about 85yds (80m) from the track. This is a “long cairn” built of stones some 5000 years ago.
Often located in commanding positions, long cairns are thought to be burial sites of local chieftains. This site is protected by Historic Scotland as an Ancient Monument.
The rough road, here known as the Lang Rig, now descends, and Inverbervie can be seen ahead with Bervie Brow beyond.

Beware if you approach this cache from the Inverbervie side there are two bulls in the field and the fence is not in good repair!!!
