In 1993 The Scotsman in association with Glayva and Hamilton & Inches, ran The Jacobite Treasure Trail; an armchair detective competition for their readers. Running over the course of two weeks, The Scotsman published maps and clues which followed the historic route of the 18th century Frenchman, Armand Vallet, to find a hidden brooch entrusted to him by King Louis XV in the north of Scotland as he tried, and failed, to reach Prince Charles Edward Stuart. This brooch was the first prize awarded to the successful Treasure hunter.
