Sounds like a previous cacher left the lid open. Could the next person perhaps wiz the wet log on the car heater to dry it? 

Quickly grabbed this from the roadside.

No luck, coords seem to be out, they take you to a green box not the clue item.

Three clue items to choose from so wasn't going to waste time 

Well anyway, as I was saying, the fat landowner with the well, that the cat that fell down it, you know - the one with only three legs - belonging to Mrs White, from the end cottage, the one with the pink roses and the yappy dog - well anyway, did I tell you what she did last ...............

A nice easy walk along the coastal path, and easy descent down all the steps, a sunny day, gorse out, butterflies flitting about, bumble bees buzzing and seabirds squalking - oh well can't have it all!!

As we came along the road Snaik was whistling the tune to A Red Red Rose, well its Valentines Day, kinda appropriate.

Cache was quickly found, and whistling Snaik was still keeping in tune - what a romantic he is!!

Slight detour before heading north over the bridge. Didn't see a single dolphin today, typical!

Loved this cache, and spent a pleasant few hours on this side of the river doing all the nearby caches. Necessary photos to follow.

Found this Pyramid between two roads in Dundee, Scotland, and right in front of a Pub. Surrounded by some Arty Ironwork? I have no idea why it is there?

This Ship is the RRS Discovery, now an award winning Five-Star visitor attraction in Dundee Scotland. It is now used as a museum. It was Captain Scott's famous polar exloration ship when he ventured into Antartica 

This is the St. Monans Four Sailed Windmill, found on the coastal Path outside the pretty Fishing village of St. Monans, in Fife, Scotland.

This Mission is on the edge of the South Inch Park, in Perth Scotland. I have taken a photo of both the signpost, and the mission with the GPS. People gather here for musical and dramatic performances, as well as more traditional preaching.

Found this Camera Obscura whilst on holiday. A very busy location and I'm sure other people thought we were taking a picture of them! Including the 'live' statue.

This stone looks like a witch, and is called Carlin Maggie.

Carlin Maggie's stone is a 40-foot natural stone column formed of volcanic basalt. The rock tower is identified as Maggie, a witch who was turned to stone by the Devil when she got on his nerves.

The Devil threw a lightning bolt which had the effect of petrifying her. 

Continuing on from the Airport theme.

Location 1. N56 23.719/W003 26.068
Here we are at Perth Airport. Located in Central Scotland this airport is convenient for all the major cities of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen. Used for not only the business traveller, but also for flying training. The photograph is taken of the airport sign.

Location 2. N56 17.156/W003 20.868
A second sign, linking both the sign, and a mode of transport is located on entering Perth and Kinross. Home of the Perth Pathfinders. This sign is also marking the boundary.

Location 3. N56 14.723/W003 15.609
Boundary markers are not only large metal road signs, but can be also stone markers. This ancient stone is found in the scottish hills. It dates back to 1815 which is the date of an Act of Parliament, when the land was divided amongst the landowners. This one is along an ancient pathway in the mountains.

Found this small lighthouse in North Queensferry. It is Octagonal, erected in 1810 for ferries crossing the Firth of Forth. Built from Ashlar and capped with a copper lantern.

This ancient Packhorse bridge crosses the river near Gunnerside in the Yorkshire dales (England). It is said to be haunted by a headless dog - luckily there was no sign of the dog while we were there.

No problem finding this despite being under trees. Starting to flag a bit on this walk now, not far to go to the finish.

Sir Walter Scott
Novelist and Poet 1771 - 1832.
The 9th of 12 children, interested in local folk lore, fairy tales and legends. This statue used to stand at the east end of Perth High Street (Scotland) until it was moved to the entrance of the South Inch (park) to make room for traffic. The council paid £10.00 for this statue in 1845.
 

Found this one on the Glendevon to Gleneagles road, it is the Lower Glendevon Resevoir, one of two close together.
