They are a really good and fun way to explore a new town or city, or your local area... Suitable for all ages. We are in our 70's.

We've got a mission for you in

Kirkintilloch

Rail enthusiasts Dr Loco Motif and his dastardly sidekick Anna Raque have planted a devious device under the Luggie Aqueduct in Kirkintilloch. They're not at all happy that rival canal enthusiasts, The Gongoozlers, get to happily enjoy the aqueduct whilst their beloved Campsie Branch railway line has long since disappeared. The Doctor's device is designed to make the aqueduct become porous, thus draining the water from the canal into the River Luggie below! Obviously, The Gongoozlers are up in arms about this so have called on Spy HQ to employ some top secret agents (YOU!) to stop them in their tracks!

The Kirkintilloch Conspiracy - Spy Mission Along the Forth & Clyde Canal

Attention all agents! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to solve a trail of Clues left behind by the Doctor and Anna that will reveal a code to disable this device! As you journey through the historic town of Kirkintilloch, you'll encounter sneaky clues hidden in existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments. But be warned - the clock is ticking, and only the most daring spies will be able to crack the code and save the aqueduct from disaster!

Begin your spy mission at the Old Kirk Museum on Cowgate and continue through the town centre before following the footpath along the Forth and Clyde Canal. Keep your wits about you as you explore what is considered the 'canal capital of Scotland', and make sure to finish in Peel Park to complete your mission.

Are you ready to infiltrate the Kirkintilloch Conspiracy and save the aqueduct? Good luck, agents!
