This deserves a wee slot of it's own I think... :encouragement:

Lady's Tower in Elie, Fife

First, some info.....
A notable landmark is Lady's Tower, built in 1760 for Lady Janet Anstruther to use as a changing room prior to her morning bathing routine. She was the daughter of a Scottish merchant and renowned for her beauty and reputation as a flirt. Prior to her skinny dipping she sent out one of her servants into the town of Elie to advise local residents of her imminent skinny dipping so they would stay away from her private tower.

Beautiful picture, and a cracking good tale surrounding it. Can't say I believe a word of it, but it's fun nonetheless :)

(Did I see that tower once in an episode of "Time Team"...?)

"She changed in the man-made cave on the beach below the Tower.”
I find THAT hard to believe as that opening is kinda small.. She musta been 4 foot nuthin',
Anyway, here's a shot of it...
