The Spider Stone Traditional Cache

This is a very unusual geological feature a short walk out of the village of Dalmellington on one of the village trails.

The cache is located a short distance beyond the Spider Stone. After email discussions with Dr Neil Clark (Hunterian) and Dr David McGarvie they believe the stone to be sedimentary in nature. I am awaiting further details on how the fissures were created and will add when I have this information. There are a number of rocks along the former driveway to the old house which are thought to have been imported in Victorian times. We are doing extra research on this stone in collaboration with the local community. Locals have been known to make wishes at the stone. A rare geological gem.congratulations to stewart57 on FTF
