Geocache Description:


Original cache by pete37038 (adopted by cavywoman) was archived in 09-01-2017

SideTracked Caches are intended to provide quick Cache-and-dashes at Railway Stations, the series has proved very popular South of the border, so hopefully it will catch on in Scotland.

Linlithgow is a railway station serving the town of Linlithgow in West Lothian, Scotland. It is located on the Glasgow to Edinburgh via Falkirk Line and is also served by First ScotRail services from Edinburgh to Dunblane. A very pleasant station to wait for your train, with good views of the railway from the cache location. Happy hunting.

We thought we would revive this cache as we didnt want to see a good caching location going to waste.
The new container is slightly bigger and can now hold trackables.

Its has been placed in Learmonth Gardens near Roos Doocot, which was built by the Barons Ross of Halkhead, probably on the tail rig of their lodging. It is a circular beehive doocot, its thick rubble walls contain 370 nesting boxes, bound by three projecting rat-courses, rather like stringcourses. It has a recent lantern on top. Learmonth gardens commemorate Alexander Learmonth, Provost of Linlithgow, 1802-7. Wellbank, c.1850,

Congratulations to Primitive Person on FTF
