Spring Drive From Elie To St Monans East Neuk Of Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video of a Spring morning road trip drive, with Scottish music, from Elie to St Monans on visit to the East Neuk Of Fife. St Monans, often spelt St Monance, is a village whose inhabitants formerly made their living mainly from fishing, it is now a tourist destination situated on the Fife Coastal Walking Path. Like other small East Neuk towns, St Monans is rich in vernacular fisher and merchant houses of the 17th to early 19th centuries, with characteristic old Scots features, e.g. forestairs, crow stepped gables, datestones, pantiled roofs etc. The tradition of shipbuilding has now ceased. For over 200 years the boat builder J W Miller & Sons Ltd produced fifie fishing boats, yachts and motor launches in the village.
