The Lady's Tower

   After a drive unto Elie yesterday I was too tired to download my camera and so I left that to do today.

Lady’s Tower was built in 1770 for Lady Janet Anstruther.
“As we understand it Jenny used the Tower as a viewpoint where she could sit to watch the world go by and recover from bathing/immersion. She changed in the man-made cave on the beach below the Tower.”
She was the daughter of a Scottish merchant and renowned for her beauty and reputation as a flirt. Prior to her skinny dip she sent out one of her servants into the town of Elie to ring a bell to let residents know to stay away!
I've read on other websites that Lady Anstruther was the wife of the merchant and not his daughter.
