St Catherines Tower high above Loch Clunie is the site chosen for this cache. It overlooks the land belonging to Stars of Forneth farm. We have no idea why the tower is there- when you reach it, you will see that it is not even a real tower?

A Star or Stars is a raised piece/s of ground in a bog or marsh. - Thanks snaik!!!

The route to this cache follows a faint path in places and in others is just over rough ground. Just keep going upwards until you spot the tower. the cache is close by.
