Tour Scotland Travel Video Winter Drive From The Haven Bar and Restaurant To Harbour In Anstruther East Neuk Of Fife

Tour Scotland Winter travel video of drive from The Haven Bar and Restaurant, at 1 Shore Street, overlooking the historic harbour in Cellardyke, through the narrow streets to the harbour on ancestry visit to Anstruther, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. A dreich day, so I popped into The Haven Bar and Restaurant which is renowned locally for its warm welcome, great atmosphere, good beer and terrific food. Dreich is a Scots word for, dreary or bleak. Anstruther Captains were famed for their seafaring skills and later in the 19th Century a number were actively involved in trade across the oceans, several in particular played a major role in the China tea trade. During the 19th century as trading ships got larger Anstruther increasingly turned to the fishing and the North Sea herring industry. Whole families would be involved with men at sea or mending nets and the women salting and packing the herring into barrels. Anstruther landed herring was particularly popular in Poland and the fishing fleet would follow the Herring run down the North Sea as far as Lowestoft.
