RUBIES on this Scottish Beach & A Naked Lady's Tower | Elie Fife

Today we're in Elie, Fife, a Scottish seaside town on the Fife Coast. Most travellers miss it on their way to St Andrews. It's worth a look! Incredible beach and lovely harbour. On this beach you can search for genuine garnets — locals call them "Elie rubies". And just along the cliff stands a tower built in 1770 for Lady Janet Anstruther, who insisted on swimming in the sea, naked. Elie's railway station opened in 1863 and fell victim to the Beeching cuts, closing on the 6th of September 1965. Today the Station Buffet Bar keeps the memory alive. The Parish Church dates back to 1639, with its octagonal tower. From Elie Ness, you can see the Bass Rock — the world's largest northern gannet colony — and the Elie Ness Lighthouse, engineered by David Stevenson. There's beach cricket at the Ship Inn where we'll sample the beer in their "Beer Beach". 00:00 Welcome to Elie in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland 01:03 Elie High Street, Station Buffet Bar, Parish Church with Octagonal Tower 04:39 Elie Beach, Palm Trees and Gardens 07:41 The Ship Inn Pub, Elie with Cricket Scoreboard and Beer Beach 09:01 The Story of the Elie Rubies on Ruby Beach 10:58 Elie Ness Lighthouse 12:06 Naked Lady's Tower - What Janet Anstruther Got up to 13:41 Beer at the Ship Inn and Elie Harbour 15:23 What did you think of Elie? #Elie #Fife #Scotland #ScottishTravel #HiddenGems #EastNeuk #RubyBay #LadysTower #BeechingCuts #ScotlandTravelVlog #FifeCoastalPath #SeasideScotland #ElieScotland If you enjoyed this video please subscribe to my YouTube Channel - it's totally free:    / @rogedwardstv   Instagram:   / rogeraedwards   LinkedIn:   / rogeraedwards   Music: https://www.epidemicsound.com
