"The Hundy Mundy is a folly which forms part of the designed landscape associated with Mellerstain House. It lies to the south of the house, and has been attributed to William Adam, who carried out the initial work on Mellerstain and its surrounding grounds.
Built in a Gothic style, Hundy Mundy takes the form of a tall arched structure, flanked by square turrets which each sport pointed finials." (from canmore.org.uk)
The name Hundy Mundy originates from when a Pictish Princess occupied the tower, her name was actually Hunimundias, but the children of Mellerstain preferred Hundy Mundy...
