Hiking

Lady's Tower was built in 1770 for Lady Janet Anstruther. According to historians, Lady Janet used the tower as a viewpoint. She would go skinny-dipping in the waters below after changing in a man-made cave underneath the tower. Before her nude swims, though, she would send a servant to ring a bell so residents would leave her in peace. These days, the tower is an extremely atmospheric spot with wonderful views. It is a great location for photographers and painters, too.
