Old Photograph Herring Fishing Boat Kirkcaldy Fife Scotland

Old photograph of a herring fishing boat leaving the harbour in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland. Kirkcaldy's fishing history dates to its early growth as a coastal town, but it was the 16th century salt trade and 19th-century whaling industry that were most significant. Fishing declined by the late 19th century due to harbour limitations and competition.
