Highland Geofairy Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thanks for all the emails, just to save me repeating myself over and over, this particular coin is primarily for Scottish Geocachers. None will be traded, none will be sold, well not by me anyways. A few will be gifted directly, the majority are to be placed into caches and I am hoping that many of those will be at the top of a Munro, Corbett or Graham, so the next to find will get a reward for the effort required to find a particular cache. For those that may not have seen it, I'll add the images below. Again, thanks for the interest, but please do not ask me for this coin, thank you. Of course it's a good reason to come and visit Scotland Quote Link to comment

Of course it's a good reason to come and visit Scotland Well I wish I had been into geocaching in 1989, when I spent two weeks on a geology excursion from Univ. Hamburg traveling all the way up to Scourie More. Wonderful country you have there and even more so, very friendly people. I enjoyed my trip very much, actually had my very first salmon on that trip. Lovely coin as well. Maybe one day I will make it back over to Scottland. Quote Link to comment

+die_anita Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Of course it's a good reason to come and visit Scotland Well, I will do so in August. We plan to stay in Scotland for 9 days and of course we will do some caching. I looked up several caches in Edinburgh and when we know the rest of the route I will look up others - I hope so much that I will find one of these beautiful coins! Quote Link to comment
+Rockin Roddy Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I love it, well done! Quote Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 WOW!!!! A beautiful geocoin!!!!! I love it!!!!! I also love scotland, even if I haven't been there! Highlands!!!! I wish one day to visit this place, but if I do that, I do not know if I will ever leave!!! Exept the history, the castles, the ghost stories, Nessy and so many other things in Scotland that I love, I LOVE the Traditional Scotish music with the bugpipes!!!! We have similarities with Scotland (We even have similar food - stufed lamp and we eat intestines.... )! We also have a similar bugpipe music organ, called Tsambouna, but the sound is not the same! there are some differencies in it.... Anyway... all Scots will understand that I am in their country!!! How? When your banknotes will start to dissapear!!!! Well... At least the cheap ones! Lovely banknotes, great new series, but I just have one question.... 3 different banks printing different banknote series???? How you can recognize them???? Just kiding!!! Quote Link to comment
+wildhawk Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I really like the coin, wish I could visit Scotland I think I would enjoy it, but that doesn't look like it will happen for me anytime soon. I did enjoy the photos that were posted of the coin and congrats to all who are lucky enough to get one of these!! Quote Link to comment
Beefy4605 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Absolutely stunning HGF but then that's what I say when I see any of your coins. As yet I have not held one in my hand but someday I hope to. Unfourtunately when I'm in Scotland I don't have the time to go climbing mountains and this is about the only cache I can acess-The Hidden Staircase. Quote Link to comment
+tsunrisebey Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Very cute and I like the idea of putting coins in caches! Maybe when 2010 rolls around for the MEGA, there will still be a few floating around to find Quote Link to comment
+Dr. Whoever Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 WOOO Maybe I'll stumble across one when I am in Scotland in April !! Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 My wife and I have been perpetually planning a trip to Scotland since we got married -- she wants to try and find Nessie, and I want to sample every Single Malt in the country. I've always wanted to bag a Munro too. But with three wee bairns, it looks like that trip will be sometime in the dim future. Perhaps you should come visit NEW Scotland and hide a few here! None of our hills would even be a Graham though. Quote Link to comment
+fairyhoney Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Very nice and crisp - I Like it Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Sweet coin! I don't expect I'll be getting to Scotland any time in the near (or any) future outside of winning the Lottery, tho. I hope to see one in person one day - even if it is in someone else's collection. CF30 Quote Link to comment
+The Finding Irish 4 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 A while back my Daughter aw this series, and fell in love with them... When she this this one it will kill her that it will ony be available in Scotland. I guess I she will have to start saving and converting to Scotish Notes. This is a beautiful coin, great job Quote Link to comment
+NeoCult Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I feel so privilege to own one of these, coin number 17 had made it into one of my caches, i found it while i was checking that my caches were ok here is a couple of pics of this stunning coin & This coin has made me smile so much its unreal, just shows what a little kindness does for people I ordered a coin album today for my few coins, this one is my favourite and will take pride of place in the album Many thanks yet again Highland Geofairy!!!

+ElliPirelli Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Another 10 days till I'll be in your homeland, Highland Geofairy! I'm so excited, I've never been to Scotland, but I believe, it's nice there. So, any idea, where I might stumble over one of your precious coins? It would be the highlight of my holidays, if I could find it in a cache. (As long, as I don't have to bring climbing gear, as I don't climb. Not on trees, not on rockfaces.... ) Quote Link to comment
TheWeston's Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 and I am coming up to Scotland for GitG, planning to do my first Munro (along with my kids and no doubt a few others). Heres hoping the fairy visits Munro Driesh before GitG!! Quote Link to comment
+crazybear and honey Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I do not know when i have time to visit Scotland. :-( And found one of this great coins.

+die_anita Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Scotland was so great that I did not even think about Geofairy coin There was none in any of the caches I did but as the stunning Earth Caches were my favourites I do not mind Quote Link to comment
+Li-Z Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Die Anita, I totally agree with you! Good to hear you enjoyed your holiday so much! My trip too Scotland was amazing too. Wonderfull landscapes, and beautiful dramatic skies. I forgot about the highland fairy as well while caching in Scotland Like you, I didn't find a higland geofairy, but I already know I will be returning to Scotland next year to visit some more beautiful places and do a lot of hiking and caching! So may be next time ;-) Sorry for all the photos but it's just such a beautiful country I would recommend anyone to go caching in Scotland if you ever get the chance!! Li-Z Quote Link to comment
paganfrog Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 good to hear you both enjoyed your visits to the highlands of scotland. for future visits dont forget to take a wander north of inverness as caithness and sutherland have some remote but very beautiful places to see.

+ElliPirelli Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Well, no Highland Geofairy Coin for me either, but then, as Anita, I didn't search that thoroughly. We had a brilliant time up North! Sorry paganfrog, we didn't make north of Inverness. I had only a week and so I squeezed as much in, as I could. But Loch Ness was the limit, I'm afraid.

+Li-Z Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Wow! I can't believe what I received today: a Highland Geofairy coin!!!!! I've been literally jumping up and down in the living room, my boyfriend not understanding at all what it was about untill he heard the word coin and scotland ;-) I love all fantasy creatures and of course I loved caching in Scotland as well. So these two combined makes a very special coin. Highland Geofairy, thank you for making this beautiful coin and putting them in caches all around scotland! I hope this thread will encourage other people to visit Scotland someday and enjoy the amazing landscapes, trails and caches there. And maybe to find a highland geofairy as well I'm already planning the next visit to Scotland and will make sure to bring some unactivated geocoins (sorry, no higland geofairie coins, but it's still good to find an unactivated coin as a surprise after a long search for the cache right?) to put in caches for the next finder when I'm there!
