A trail of clues awaits in

Dunfermline

Long ago, in the year 1100, the castles of Scotland were under siege from a group of Scots, led by William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. Fearing for the safety of their masters' gold and silver, loyal servants buried the treasure to keep it safe. Many left behind maps and clues, but most were lost during the raids. However, carpet fitter Walter Wall believes he has found one of these maps while working on a renovation project. He has sent it to us at The Exploration Society, and we are tasking YOU - our best adventurer - with uncovering the lost loot!
