Old Photograph Boats Inner Harbour St Andrews Fife Scotland

Old photograph of boats in the inner harbour in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. the harbour at St Andrews developed from a mediaeval creek mouth haven without built harbour works. By the 16th century the creek mouth was protected by an extensive pier and bulwark to seaward and had linear masonry quays within to accommodate shipping. The separation of the Inner and Outer Harbours was present at this date and was later, in the 18th century, reinforced by the introduction of gates between the two basins.
