Perth and Tayside |  Elephant Rock The sea
carves its mark on land in many ways, and, just below the cemetery where George
Ramsay is buried, there is an example which has become a minor tourist attraction
in its own right. | | The rocky protuberance which juts
out to the sea with almost sheer sides has been noted by visitors for many years
due to its curious shape, which becomes more and more apparent as you walk round
the corner towards Boddin point.  | | Elephant Rock |
The outcrop
was more properly known in times gone by as the Rock of St Skeagh, but today's
visitors know it as the Elephant Rock, with the shape of the animal clearly defined,
its trunk almost dipping into the sea. Erosion has clearly been the culprit
here, with the tide carving two arches in the protruding rock, which can be walked
through at low tide, over the ages. The Elephant Rock will not retain its unusual
shape forever, but while it does it will bring a smile to young and old alike.
