Destiny Wherigo Cache

This cache has been archived.

Firth of Forth: Unfortunately the final location is compromised. I suspect local children have discovered it and keep coming back to investigate. Relocating isn't an easy option since i don't live locally. I guess the cache served its purpose as a different icon for visitors to the mega event in Perth.

Geocache Description:

Click to go to the Mega Scotland web site

A Wherigo cache about Scotland’s sacred stones. Can you find the hiding place of the true Stone of Destiny? Bring your GPS enabled device, your courage and wits - and a pen and paper - and seek your destiny.


The co-ordinates shown on the cache page will take you to a place on the North Inch at Perth. From here you can see the grounds of the Palace of Scone. The Stone of Scone, also called the Stone of Destiny, is said to be the ancient crowning stone of Scotland’s kings. It has a long, troubled and mysterious history. Is the Stone which is now in Edinburgh Castle and which was long kept at Westminster the real Stone? Or was Edward I duped by the monks of Scone Abbey in 1296? If this is not the true Stone, then where is the genuine article?

Legend says that in each generation, some people are chosen to protect the secret of the true Stone of Destiny. They are known as the Moon-Runners or Moon-Runers. It is their duty to keep the true Stone safe, moving it to a new hiding place whenever it is threatened. They pass on their secret knowledge through the use of ancient runes.

Once you arrive at the starting point, several other zones will become visible on your Wherigo map. Each zone represents a different time and place. You can visit the zones in any order you like. In each zone you will learn something more and you will also find a rune to add to your inventory.

When you have all the runes you will be able to decode a message. And all may – or may not - be revealed……

The Moon Runners who made this cache were On His Bike (cache construction specialist), Firth of Forth (programming and logic control), roolku (beta-testing and technical advisor) and Jack Aubrey (verbiage).
