First Scottish geocache, thanks! And so much interesting Scottish based information here dropping off a TB :3
Heading back to my nearby motel and stopped for this one. Parked up the road a bit and took a short walk back to GZ where the cache was soon in hand. Neat little hide....thanks.
Apologies to the CO, but this was a 'desperation' cache!
Having spent a few hours in Edinburgh, I needed to find a genuine 'Edinburgh' cache with which I could log a TB visit to the city (and upload the photos I took of it's visit, as part of its mission!) - but with the city heaving with visitors to the fringe festival, having had little wifi access in the preceding few days and finding that my phone ad no reception of any kind in the city, finding an appropriate cache for the purpose was proving to be a nightmare!
I was eventually able to use the free wifi on the tram, on our return to the Park & Ride carpark near the airport, to locate this cache, which wouldn't take us too far off our route towards our next port of call, on the last two legs of our journey back to Suffolk.
Being a Sunday, the GZ was pretty clear of muggles so the retrieve was relatively easy (I suspect this would not have been the case 24 hours later and I was delighted to have solved my TB-logging problem! I took a few moments to read through the poetry on display, before running back to the car where 'Less Keen' was beginning to get heartily fed-up with my antics throughout the morning!
Thanks for placing this cache here - it certainly saved my bacon!

Retrieved cache easily then sat at the bus shelter to sign it. Sat waiting for a few minutes until a bus had gone, then put cache back just as a stream of muggles approached.
Richt2000 and I planned a mad days caching back to Nottingham from the MEGA in Scotland and we stopped for a quick cache and dash in Edinburgh, as neither of us have cached here before. We picked this one and it was nice to visit such an unusual bus shelter. What a fab idea! Signed log as Team Grrr. Thanks for placing. Dipped personal coin.
Next stop Northumberland...
Next stop Northumberland...
A nice quick find on the way home from the Mega by the_dolans and I. We signed this as team grrr. Tftc
Had my eye on this for a while, but this evening wanted to start getting my souvenirs for August, and thought of it as I stopped at the Gyle to try for a puzzle cache. Walked over, because parking is a little awkward and quickly obtained my target. Then out came the Muggles, making it difficult to replace. Thankfully there was plenty of Scottish Trivia to read. There should be stuff like his at more bus stops. Not that I use the bus...
One would have thought that 12:30am, in the dead of darkest night, would be ideal for an attempt at this cache. But no - someone waiting on a bus on the other side of the road meant that I couldn't stop the car for a search...
Liked the bus shelter! Great hint and pretty easy to find. Not many muggles around on a Saturday and able to park nearby. TFTC.
Popped by to say hello to this one - it's exactly where it's supposed to be and all looks well. Not that I could check in any great detail, because stopping the car at a bus stop, even on a Saturday, tends to get the wrong kind of attention...
First time in this part of the business area. Incredible how many organisations are here. Buses frequent enough to remove muggles.
Sunday is definitely the best day for muggle free search. Thankfully it was a quick find
Big cache considering its location. Thank you. As well as for the Scottish history lesson!
Very easy find waiting for the bus back to Waverley station. No pen, so attached photo.
Found after a visit to Edinburgh park for an interview. Thanks for placing this cache.
