Tour Scotland photograph of Buckie House corner in Anstruther, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. This house has been on its corner site in my hometown since 1692. In the 1840s, a local slater and plasterer called Alex Bachelor lived in the house and he covered the front of it with a wealth of shells. Shells are often called " Buckies " in Scotland.
Bachelor charged people four pennies to see him laid out in his shell adorned coffin.
