Old Photograph Shore Street Anstruther East Neuk Of Fife Scotland

Old photograph of a fishing boat in the harbour by Shore Street in Anstruther in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Herring fishing remained a feature of the area until the middle of the 20th century when, after a record catch in 1936, the shoals mysteriously declined until the industry effectively disappeared by 1947. At one time, the town was well served by trains on the Fife Coast Railway. The line was closed to passengers in 1965. Since the 1950s, Anstruther has been a summer tourist destination along with much of Scotland's beautiful East coast.
