Geocache Description:

An easy two-stage multi cache copied (with permission!) from roolku's Caiystane cache which is nearby. Perhaps we could start a series: Yet Another Standing Stone ?

Buckstane is a lot smaller than Caiystane, standing at just over 1m high, and like Caiystane, it gives its name to a nearby suburb of Edinburgh: Buckstone. Tradition associates the Buck Stane with the Barony of Penicuik and the royal hunts on the Boroughmuir. A plaque on the wall states that the stone used to mark the spot where the buckhounds were unleashed when the King of Scotland hunted in the region.

The cache is hidden at: N 55 54.ABC, W 003 1D.EFG

To work out the numbers, use the words on the plaque and count the number of letters as follows:

A - 9th word
B - 1st word
C - 4th word
D - 8th word
E - 3rd word
F - 11th word
G - 2nd word
