The obelisk at Elie Estate
The obelisk at Elie Estate
Currently on a field with cows, it can be approached from the private road to Elie House. This is as close as you get without climbing fences. The monument might have been erected to celebrate the Union of Parliaments in 1707, or it is a War Memorial. But currently its purpose does not seem clear.
