Old Photographs Bathing Pool Pittenweem East Neuk of Fife Scotland

Old photograph of children and adults by the bathing pool in Pittenweem, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Throughout the East Neuk, burghs built their own tidal pools which were a hive of activity throughout the holiday period. Within north east Fife alone there are also outdoor pools in St Andrews, St Monans and Cellardyke, all of which have slipped into varying degrees of disrepair and abandonment over the years. The pool at Pittenweem opened around May each year, and the water was always freezing cold. The tide would come in and refill the pool every two weeks or so.
