Some call them 'motorway mayhem' caches, some call them 'one for the numbers' caches, or even 'SDBs'; but regardless of their name they are a welcome stop to break up a journey. All caches in this little series have are designed to entertain and educate cachers heading north, look out for a bonus piece of trivia on the underside of the cache lid!
Just south of this cache is the Lockerbie Lorry Park, a perfect stop-off point for a breakfast..or lunch...or a snack.
Its worth a stop just to see the tree in the carpark, which is carved with a highlander.
As this cache is so close to a cafe here is some about Scottish food....
Scottish fruit producers grow 2,400 tonnes of raspberries and 4,600 tonnes of strawberries each year.
Whilst suppressing the rebellion of the Macdonald clan, John Stewart, 1st Earl of Atholl had whisky, honey and oats added to Macdonald's well, The Macdonalds were so entranced or intoxicated him that they were easily captured. The mixture became a drink named Atholl Brose.
Angus towns give their name to at least three items of Scottish food: the Forfar bridie, the Arbroath smokie and Kirriemuir gingerbread. (The first is a pie, the second a fish and the third is, well, just gingerbread.)
The Scottish custom of eating shortbread on New Year’s Eve derives from an ancient pagan ritual of eating Yule Cakes.
Tablet (or taiblet in Scots) is a medium-hard, melt in the mouth confection from Scotland and has a long history, as it was first noted in The Household Book of Lady Grisell Baillie in the early 18th century.
The first known retailer of Selkirk Bannock was Robbie Douglas. He sold it in the market square in Selkirk, which he opened in 1859. His bannock became known for its rich, good taste.However, Robbie Douglas's bakery was actually in Hawick, 9 miles (14 km) south of Selkirk.
