This cache is located between Loanhead and Bilston Glen Gorge. At
some point during it you are going to find yourself at Bilston Glen
Viaduct. Bilston Glen Viaduct was built in 1892 for the North
British Railway Company to carry a single line branch. It is
approximately 45 metres above the Bilston Glen Gorge, and is 100.5
metres long. It only took 11 days to complete. It is now part of
the Midlothian footpath and cycleway network connecting Loanhead to
Roslin.
The co-ordinates that you have at the top of the page are for
the best place to park. Once there you will have to answer the
following questions to get the co-ordinates to a micro cache (the
clue on this page is for the micro cache). Within the micro cache
is the co-ordinates and clue to the whereabouts of the final
regular cache.

This is the final co-ordinates for the micro cache which is a
35mm film case.
The main cache is a Tupperware box, and it is in a black
bag.
Original contents of the cache :
Camera to take photo of yourself (camera now removed, the

Watch & Bracelet.
Socks.
Candles & Holder.
Porsche GT3 toy car.

3 Elastic bands to hold the lid shut.
NOTE: It took me 3 attempts to get the best co-ords for the
micro cache, and 4 attempts for the main cache. Don't totally rely
upon the GPS but it will get you very near, as GiantTangent says
the clues and logic should counter this.
The final Co-ordinates can also be used as part of Homage to Edinburgh’s Multi-Caches
Travel Bugs are the property
of the person who has released them. Therefore I do not count them
as a swap item.
Please DO NOT take an item in exchange for any Travel Bugs that you
may wish to leave in this cache.
If you are new to Geocaching or don't know the area, then have a
look at my bookmark lists for Edinburgh, you may find
them helpful.
