Army Cadets build Snail maze
The University of London Officers Training Corp visited Glenlivet in July 2008 to take part in a further Military Aid to the Civil Community (MACC) task. For this task they were set a rather unusual challenge, rather than their normal type of work constructing bridges the cadets were tasked with building a maze in the shape of a snail for the adventure playground in Tomintoul. As expected they rose to the challenge and 10 days later the maze was completed and opened by Pearl Paul, councillor for Speyside and Glenlivet.
