The Bluffs as viewed by Elizabeth Simcoe c. 1793 by Risto Turunen, October 1992.
Wrote Elizabeth Simcoe in 1793 "...after rowing a mile we came within sight of what is named in the map the highlands of Toronto. The shore is extremely bold and has the appearance of chalk cliffs...we talked of building a summer residence there and calling it Scarborough."
