Kate Watson age 19, died 28 July 1889. Kate swam out to sea in an attempt to rescue two boys and a girl,
who had been swept out by the tide. She died in the attempt, but the children were eventually saved by the coast guard.
This monument, in the shape of a Celtic Cross, was erected by her fellow-students of the Glagow School of Arts

Bass Rock is the remnants of a volcanic plug formed during siesmic activity 350 million years ago. It is 313 ft high.
Saint Baldred, a Christian hermit, had a chapel built on Bass Rock in the sixth century. A ruined castle lies on the
south side dating back to 1405. The largest number of visitors to North Berwick fly in every year and build their
nests on Bass Rock. It is home to over 150,000 gannets at the peak of the breading season, as well as a whole
host of other seabirds and marine wildlife. It is the largest 'single rock' colony of northern gannets in the world.
