Welcome to Treasurenet !!

That will be an adventure.
Hope you can find and hunt around the cave at Ben Alder where Cluny lived for 8 years.
Have you read Andrew Lang's book, Pickle the Spy?

My clansmen, Clan Mackay, intercepted at Tongue, Scotland, the first attempt to financially support Bonnie Prince Charles.
On a 19th century survey chart it indicated a gold coin was found on the shore of Loch Haken near Tongue.
I enjoyed several days looking for more gold but found only modern coins and a ton of fishing gear.

Good hunting,
Don.......

Awesome. Are you trying to team up with any locals out there, or just going on a solo journey?

Near Bettyhill /Farr there is a small loch where health addicts would thrown in coins as a token of they being healthy.
If you get up there, no doubt the locals might give you more information.
If you go this summer, please keep us informed.
