Image: © James Allan Taken: 9 Jun 2008
This mansion house near Anstruther was built in 1740 for Robert Lumsdaine. This gentleman was a leading member of what is known as the Beggar's Benison, a thriving 18th century sex-club in Anstruther and the niche above the front door of the house still displays a statue of Mercury, the patron deity of auto-eroticism.
