The Wandering Fiona
August 13, 2022
Hiking
A quirky folly unlike anything else in the UK. This was built by the 4th Earl of Dunmore in 1761 when he came back from America. Free entry and a limited car park but worth a look if you are in the area.

The Pineapple stands 45 feet (14 m) high. Cantilever masonry have made the realistic leaves and fruit of a pineapple from stone. It was built in 1761 by the Earl of Dunmore as a summerhouse where he could appreciate the views from his estate. At this time, pineapples were among Scotland’s most exotic foods.

Hiking
An interesting find and the short trails around the area are enough to fill an hour or two. Maintained by the National Trust, there is a free car park and it is open all year round. From the A905 follow the brown signs.
