Old Photograph West Shore Street Buckhaven Scotland

Old photograph of people, cottages and houses on West Shore Street in Buckhaven, Fife, Scotland. I was born in this village on the East coast of Scotland. The fishing community of Buckhaven is said to have been largely the descendants of Norsemen who settled there in the 9th century. Centuries later, Buckhaven's fisherfolk bought an Episcopal Church in St Andrews in 1869 and transported it stone by stone to Buckhaven, using fishing boats.
