Geocache Description:

A cache placed following the sad demise of one of my first finds; Poppy 6.

This gives me chance to show off another great SQ viewpoint.


As the plaques that can be seen at the associated waypoint state, The Binks form a natural jetty, which was used until 1812 for the Queen's Ferry, after which this town is named.

Queen Margaret (1047-93) provided free crossing to pilgrims to a shrine she had created to Scotland's patron saint in St Andrews.

As in the present day, from Port Edgar to the west to the Hawes Pier and beyond to the east, this area has been used for crossing the Forth for centuries.

 

I would love to see photos you take of this spot, but it is not compulsory to add photos to your log to claim the find.

I didn't add a waypoint for the car parking, because between the two points I have listed, it is car park. Not that you'll necessarily find a space...

 

Congratulations to Daibach98, quickly FTF on a cache only possible due to the archiving of one of his own.
