Easy to find virtual cache at an amazing monument/mausoleum that you otherwise might not visit.
Born in Arbroath, the third son of a weaving merchant, Patrick Allan (1813-1890) quickly rejected a commercial career in favour of artistic pursuit, studying first in Edinburgh, and then in Rome and Paris. Returning briefly to execute a commission he met, and shortly after married, the highly talented young widow, Elizabeth Fraser-Baker, last of the Frasers of Hospitalfield, later adopting his wife's family name. Fiercely self-reliant Patrick turned to estate management, quickly restored his wife's fortunes, re-designed Hospitalfield House and oversaw the building work using his own team of craftsmen. Patrick Allan-Fraser built a number of fine structures on his expanded network of estates stretching from Arbroath into Perthshire. At the same time, he continued his heavy involvement with the art world, promoting international exchange as President of the British Academy of Art in Rome and as a patron and champion of both young and aged Scottish artists. This cache is in the Western Cemetery of Arbroath. In the middle of the cemetery is the Fraser Mausoleum, built by Patrick Allan Fraser and containing the remains of him and his wife. Take a minute or two to look at the unusual vertical sundials mounted on two adjoining walls of the crypt. There are several inscriptions of "Dial Fast", but only one of "Dial Slow". To verify this cache, you must e-mail us the series of numbers under the "Dial Slow" inscription. Once you email us the info, you can go ahead and log your find. Happy Hunting!
