Old Photographs Buckhaven Fife Scotland

Old photograph of Randolph Street, Buckhaven, Fife, Scotland. The fishing community of Buckhaven is said to have been largely the descendants of Norsemen who settled there in the 9th century. Centuries later, Buckhaven's fisherfolk bought an Episcopal Church in St Andrews in 1869 and transported it stone by stone to Buckhaven, using fishing boats.. In the 1900s coal mining brought brought increased prosperity but it also destroyed the fishing. I was born in this street in this coastal village in Fife, Scotland. Long after this photograph was taken.
