Background
History
In the 1830s, a sandstone rock was discovered near the low tide mark on the Embleton sea shore. Carved on the rock in Roman capitals were the words, "ANDRA BARTON". "Andra", or Sir "Andrew" Barton, a Scottish sea captain and "fearless freebooter", was a mariner in James IV, King of Scots' navy.
