Geocache Description:

On the summit of Creagan a' Chaise. A steep ascent/descent regardless of route taken. There are boggy areas across the ridge.

This is a micro, very close to the trig point Creagan A Chaise. The cache is located near to the Jubilee Cairn, this was built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee and was erected in June of 1887 by her Gillies. There is a plaque set into a hole in the Cairn marking the occasion. There used to be a visitors book to sign, unfortunately this was stolen recently which lost 30 years of history.


About Ye Ole Survey Monuments

Ye Ole Survey Monument (YOSM) is a captivating series of caches that pays homage to the remarkable legacy of OutForTheHunt's YSM series (GC45CC).

YOSM caches are strategically positioned at or near Trig Points. These triangulation stations have played a pivotal role as surveying landmarks, contributing to the mapping of expansive territories.

Some of these points, bearing historical significance, might now be situated on private land or have vanished with time. As a result, the caches are artfully placed in close proximity, reverently acknowledging the historical importance of these survey monuments.

More information, bookmarks and statistics can be found at the YOSM Website

If anybody would like to expand the Ye Ole Survey Monuments Series, please do.
I would ask that you request a number for your cache first at www.yosm.org.uk
so we can keep track of the numbers and names to avoid duplication.
