Tour Scotland Photographs Cellardyke March 19th

Tour Scotland photograph of Cellardyke, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Cellardyke, where I was raised in Scotland, was once called "Silverdyke." The name Silverdyke was given to the fishing village by the Dutch traders who used to visit these shores after crossing the North Sea. They saw the walls or "dykes" covered with the drying herring which had been caught by local fisherman. The herring were glinting in the sun which made the walls look silver - hence the name. The Scottish word for silver is "Siller" and mapmakers who heard the local name Sillerdyke spoken spelt it as Cellardyke. The village is often called East Anstruther as the two villages are adjacent to each other, but Cellardyke is the correct name. The village is located just 10 miles from St Andrews.
