New Geocaches to be found in the Colony
This should be a link to the Geocaching.com map for local geocaches: https://www.geocaching.com/map/#?ll=46.66681,-67.64214&z=131874 Cadastral, Lower and Upper Kintore
I copied this map from the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick when they came up to the Gathering of the Scots in 2018. We have seen about 6 different cadastrals that cover this area. Stonehaven Settlement is the area to the south of Lower Kintore–it is now called Kincardine and Bonaccord. Here is the Stonehaven Settlement cadastral.

145th Amazing Race, 18 Aug, Starts 1PM
(Colony scavenger hunt by vehicle)
Starts at Burns Hall at 1PM on Aug 18th.
“This amazing race will be like no other. This will be a test of how observant, skilled and knowledgeable you are! Having the ability to follow directions will be an asset because you will be receiving clues as you continue on the journey. You will go to places where you have never been, and do things you may never have done before as well as learn some history of the Scottish Settlers. Take your time and enjoy the scenery along the way. You will have questions to answer so pay attention to details. If you are not sure of the answers make an educated guess. Most of all enjoy your journey.”

The New Kincardineshire Church.
The settlers in New Kincardineshire, New Brunswick opened their new church on New Year’s Day, as was sometime ago proposed.

Sinnet of Fort Fairfield, State of Maine, and we may add that the latter gentleman was accompanied by a considerable number of visitors from that State. The service commenced at 11 a. m., and by that hour part of all the families in the new settlement, and the families long settled on the north bank of the great river, were present, and many friends who had driven on sleighs from distant localities.
