Old Photograph Fishing Boat Harbour St Monans East Neuk Of Fife Scotland

Old photograph of a fishing boat leaving the harbour in St Monans in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. St Monans, often spelt St Monance, is a village and parish in the East Neuk of Fife and is named after the legendary Saint Monan. Situated approximately 3 miles west of Anstruther, this small community, whose inhabitants formerly made their living mainly from fishing, is now a tourist destination situated on the Fife Coastal Walking Path. 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.
