085 | A small reef nearly covered at high water, about half a mile south of the Lighthouse. "Between the island of Lismore and the Coast of Mull lies a Rock known by the name of 'The Ladys Rock', of which the following historical anecdote is related. Lauchlan Cattanach Maclean of Dowart had married Lady Elizabeth, daughter to Archibald, Second Earl of Argyll, and either from the circumstance of their union being unfruitful, or more probably owing to some domestic quarrels, he determined to get rid of his wife. Some accounts say that she had twice attempted her husbands life; but whatever the cause may have been, Maclean, following the advice of two of his vassals, who exercised a considerable influence over him from the tie of fosterage, caused his lady to be exposed on a Rock, which was only visible at low water, intending that she should be swept away by the return of the tide. From this perilous situation, the intended victim was rescued by a boat accidently passing, and conveyed to her brother's house". * * * * Fullarton's Gazetteer |
