On holiday in Edinburgh together with trill69, beside sightseeing we are caching too. It was much easy to determine the final coordinates, the geochecker result was OK, but we couldn' t find the final. Either we are blind or the cache isn''t there. We think the final location is obvious.

Collected all the information without any problems and with it being early evening there weren't many muggles around. Went to the obvious spot but didn't find cache.Widened the search, still no luck. Then a shout from a short distance ' Are you playing that game?' It was one of the park rangers. 'It's ........' was the instruction. Next we knew he was at gz looking. 'Gone' he said. Another ranger came up and said there were other looking earlier.
We spend a long weekend in wonderfull Edinburgh to discover the hidden places of the city, visit some pubs and of course to find some geocaches.
We liked this garden and We liked to discover the sculptures.
We had nö problems to calculate final coordinates and Thanks Hint the Cache was easy to find.
thanks for showing this park and thanks for the Cache. Wie give a blue award for this.

After a nice stroll in the gardens and lots of breaks on benches, having the sun shine on my face, I finally tackled the final. I am glad I could just make the log.
Thanks roolku for the cache!
Thanks roolku for the cache!
Took me several work related visits to collect all the info required. Found on a muggle free day!
Last time I was in Edinburgh the Christas Market was on which made this cache impossible to find. I was back for another weekend break in Edinburgh and as it was early(ish) morning and the gardens were relatively muggle free I was glad of finally having the opportunity to find this cache. I had no problems finding the required information and after finding a spot in the gardens to sit down and work out the co ordinates, I discovered that I could see GZ from where I was sitting. I just about managed to reach the cache whilst balancing on tip toes . Signed the log WTC.

Mzebonga and I included this cache along our route this afternoon so we could walk by each sculpture and make note of the information we needed. As the rain came down, we found a sheltered spot to work out the coordinates. Fortunately, we picked a good spot because we were a mere 30m away! We took note of the hint and Mzebonga easily made the grab. Thanks for putting this together and bringing us to this lovely park.
This was the final find of our short visit to Scotland. It was a great walk that took us past some very interesting monuments. We took some shelter from the drizzle to work out the final coordinates and found out that we weren't more than 30 metres away from the hide!
A really great spot and a very enjoyable puzzle.

Today we wandered around Edinburgh - the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. Then we walked down to visit Greyfriars Bobby, and then into the Gardens. Wandered around gathering the info and GZ calculated. Happy to find we were right and the cache grabbed - Very nice !
Thanks roolku ! A Favourite Point from Me !

Managed to work out the coordinates during a packed lunch in the park and the cache was just next to us.. Lots of muggles enjoying the sun close by however we had Freddie from the Hudson 4 geokid retrieve the cache safely and return. Tftc
Our first cache in Edinburgh. A lovely sunny day so we wandered around the park collecting the clues and stopped off for an ice cream too! We soon had the coordinates and found a likely looking place. There were lots of people around, but most of them were busy feeding the squirrels so we quickly grabbed it. Thanks for an enjoyable cache
During our stay for a conference I found some time to geocache
Thank you for bringing these statues to my attention. In the afternoon the final wasn't too crowded so could grab the cache.

First of this kind of cache. Think final GPS was a midges off but found it easily enough in the general area. And when I say I I mean 'the boss' found it but she's not for getting altitude sickness, if you get my meaning, so i actually retrieved it. Tftc.
After walking here and there and everywhere all over the park (nice walk, no problem!) we came to the final place - and luckily I fulfilled the requirements of the hint.
TFTC!

Visiting Scotland (Edinburgh and St Andrews) for an extended weekend together with dear Corque. We had a really good time - the Scottish cooking kept us warm (and yes, so did the Scottish beverages too ).
In total some 46 caches hunted and found. [^]
Greetings from Sweden!

Not the easiest walk in the park, but still very enjoyable!
And lucky me - Bulan1 is really the perfect companion...!

We spent the day walking through the historical parts of Edinburgh on the first part of our Scotland visit. This of course meant that we could visit a number of the good caches associated with this part of the city. Made our way round these beautiful gardens and found each of the sculptures. Cache found pretty quickly whilst avoiding the gaze of the growing number of muggles.

Collected the clues yesterday and picked up the cache today, lucky I was able to reach it!! Thnaks for the cache.
Over the past two days, I really enjoyed my various strolls through Princes Street Garden to complete this cache. Yesterday, I viewed all of the sculptures but unknowingly miscounted one of the words and found myself at questionable final coordinates. I received some guidance on my mistake from some recent finders, who let me know which statue had tripped me up. (Thank you kindly, Talking Treeoes!). Tonight, I visited the cache location just as the sunlight was beginning to fade. Thanks so much for creating an interesting puzzle/multi cache in this lovely park.
