Old Photograph George Terrace St Monans Scotland
Old photograph of a shop, houses and people on George Terrace in St Monans in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The village takes its name from St Monance who was killed by invading Danes in about 875. St Adrian was killed on the Isle of May in the same raid and 6,000 Fife Christians are said to have died. Like other small East Neuk towns, St Monans is rich in vernacular fisher and merchant houses of the 17th to early 19th centuries, with characteristic old Scots features. The tradition of shipbuilding has now ceased. For over 200 years the boat builder J W Miller & Sons Ltd produced fifie fishing boats, yachts and motor launches in the village. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
