Tour Scotland very short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and and Sporran and walking by the Lady’s Tower on Spring ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the coast of the eastern headland of Ruby Bay in Elie, East Neuk of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Built in 1770, it served as a summer house and private changing room for Lady Janet Anstruther, the daughter of a wealthy merchant known for her beauty and eccentricities. Lady Janet used the tower to recover after her daily sea bathing. To ensure her modesty while " skinny dipping, " she famously had a servant ring a bell throughout the town of Elie to warn residents to stay away. Local folklore suggests Lady Janet drowned during a storm, and some claim her ghostly screams can still be heard near the tower. This is a popular tourist destination situated on the Fife Coastal Walking Path a Scottish long distance walking footpath that runs from Kincardine to Newburgh. It runs for 117 miles along the coastline of Fife and passes through many seaside towns and villages including Anstruther, Cellardyke, Crail, Elie, Lower Largo, Pittenweem, St Andrews and St Monans. The path would take around one week to walk completely from end to end. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. The date for astronomical Spring is 20th March, ending on 21st June
