The Lost Luce Treasure - Will YOU Be the One to Find it?

Long ago, the area that is now Castle Douglas was under siege by marauding English soldiers, and a magnificent battle was on the horizon. Worried about his precious, priceless possessions falling into the wrong hands, Bob the Luce, chieftain of Clan Luce, spirited them away under cover of darkness and buried them somewhere nearby. Sadly, Bob was lost in battle and was never able to follow his hand-drawn map to retrieve the treasure trove. The jewels were lost to history… until now!

During an archaeological dig down at the loch, an ancient map was surprisingly discovered-could this point to the historical hoard? The Exploration Society have finally got their hands on the treasure map and need their BEST Adventurers to solve the clues and unearth the long lost loot. Are YOU up to the challenge?
