Walla Crag from Calfclose Bay

In the wake of the 1715 Jacobite Rebellion, Lady Derwentwater climbed Walla Crag, after escaping from Lord’s Isle . With sentries posted on all roads and clasping her jewellery and silver plate, which she hoped she could use to save her husband, she climbed what is today known as Lady’s Rake. En route, she dropped her white handkerchief which could still be seen, apparently, by Georgian tourists a century later, aided by a touch of white paint. For source see my blog Link
