Just off the coast of Easdale, an island near the latitude and longitude given, is a small pinnacle of rock often referred to as Lady’s Rock. It is here that local folklore tells the terrifying story of a doomed lady trapped by her murderous husband. The story starts back in the distant past, during the time when Scotland was a collection of feuding clans and royal lineages. The lady in question was married to a man named Lachlan Maclean of Duart, a notorious chief with a reputation for cruel behaviour. Lachlan decided to murder his wife, so he devised a plan to leave her stranded on the rock in the dead of night at low tide, expecting her to be washed away by the rising tide. To confirm his wife’s death, Maclean sent a servant to the mainland to light a beacon after seeing her dead body. To his shock, the beacon was lit. Contemplating his wife’s murder, he wondered if she might actually have survived. Returning to Lady’s Rock during low tide, Maclean found no sign of his wife. An air of unease and regret filled him. Unbeknownst to him, his wife had been rescued by a passing fishing boat and taken to her brother’s castle at Duart. She revealed her husband’s cruel act, and vengeance was sought, causing immense bloodshed between the clans. Since then, it is said that a ghostly figure can be seen on the rock during low tide at night. Her melancholic cries echo through the wind, haunting the sea between Easdale island and the mainland and acting as a chilling reminder of a dark chapter in Scotland’s history.
