Old Photograph Fisherman With Lobster Creel Crail East Neuk Of Fife Scotland

Old photograph of a fisherman carrying a Lobster creel outside his cottage in Crail, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The word creel is also used in Scotland chiefly in the coast to refer to a device used to catch lobsters and other crustaceans. Made of woven netting, similar to that used in traditional fishing net, over a frame and a slatted wooden base, this type of creel is analogous in function to a lobster pot. Several creels shot on one line can be referred to as a " leader ". Crab and lobster are a popular Scottish food.
