The walkers' sign to 'MacDuff's Monument' tends to make one think the edifice has something to do with MacBeth's old enemy, MacDuff the Thane of Fife. However, the 'monument' it leads to is just a folly, built in the 17th century by a family called McDuff (not MacDuff) who at that time lived in nearby Bonhard House and has no connection whatsoever with the Thane of Fife.
