Tour Scotland Video Lobster Boat Artic Tern St Andrews Fife

Tour Scotland video of the lobster boat Artic Tern returning to the harbour on visit to St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. The earliest records of lobster fishing in Scotland date back to the 12th century when lobster was caught by hand using ‘crooks’ and hoop nets. With the development of baited traps, exploitation on a more commercial basis was developed, and today creel fishing for the European lobster ( Homarus gammarus ) supports very important local fisheries around the Scottish coast.
