Cache recommendations/ 'hidden' places to visit in Scotland

Hello all,

 

Looking for some ideas from fellow Scots/ those with good knowledge of Scotland! We are holidaying in a campervan in Scotland this year- We are looking for any recommendations of any spectacular caches that we should incorporate into our travels. Must be accessible with an (adventurous, able to walk a good bit) toddler in tow (so no cliff tops etc)

 

Any recommendations for any places to visit would also be gratefully received- I've been on all the websites researching where we want to visit on our trip and have all the usual suspects listed.

I'm looking for your recommendations of interesting/ special things to do or see which are not in all the guide books.

 

Please let me have any ideas you have- our route isn't confirmed yet so we can change it about to accommodate any particularly brilliant places/ caches that we hear about!

 

Thank you!

Dunnet Head (Caithness) http://coord.info/GC5C15 for Furthest North mainland.

West is Best (Ardnamurchan Point) http://coord.info/GC13YNY Furthest West mainland.

 

Worth looking at the Virtual caches, and at some of the older pre 2003/2004 caches.

If you're in to scenic walks, you could try the Irvine Valley area, especially around Darvel. Some of the caches around that way have many favourite points (20+ FPs) and there is even a 5/5 if your are inclined as such.

 

Otherwise, the Borders is a lovely area in general. Plenty of drivebys and walking caches. The Haggis Highway takes a nice winding route through the county. If you're inclined. You get achieve over 100 caches in a day if you push like.
