A trail of clues awaits in
Elderslie
Everyone knows the story of the legendary Scottish hero, William Wallace, and his brave fight for freedom. But did you know that he may have left behind a hidden treasure in his birthplace of Elderslie?
Local builder Andy Mann recently uncovered a set of ancient documents hidden in the walls of a house he was renovating. These documents contain a map and scribbled notes that could be a series of clues left behind by Wallace himself. Now, Andy is seeking skilled explorers to help him decipher the documents and unearth the lost treasure.

But be careful, the trail won't be easy. Wallace was known for his cunning tactics, so you'll need to use your sharp mind to solve the clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments.
