Temple of Venus
Fancy some exercise? No hill to small, no river to deep? Want some
excellent panoramic views of the Burgh of Banff and Banff Bay? Then
look no further as this has the lot in buckets! But before we start
I shall give the usual brief description of the Temple of Venus and
then start you off with the clues. Give yourselves a good hour to
do this one, not suitable for buggies.
