Lady Janet Anstruthers changing room, Ruby Bay
This is one of the beaches where Garnets (not rubies) are to be found and indeed in a short while we found one and also a clear dark blue stone which could be sapphire. The stones arise from the erosion of Volcanic basalt rock which form part of Ruby Bay.
Lady's Tower, Ruby Bay, Fife
Lady Janet Anstruther, wife of the Laird of Ardross and Ellie estate, built Lady's Tower at Ruby Bay as her summerhouse and changing room for use when she went sea bathing. She sent a bell-ringer around the town each time she went swimming to warn the townsfolk to keep away!
