Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video of a small fishing boat in the Outer Firth of Forth off the coast of on visit to Cellardyke in the East Neuk of Fife. I was raised in Cellardyke and Anstruther. The life of Fife's rugged and beautiful East Neuk has for centuries gone hand in hand with the rich harvests provided by the waters around a truly stunning coastal fringe. In the background you can see the May Isle which has long been a focal point of the nearby fishing communities. Annually, the wives and children of the small village of Cellardyke were taken to the May Isle for a picnic by the fishermen. On 1 July 1837 one such trip turned to tragedy when one of the small row boats used to transport them to Kirkhaven harbour overturned leading to the loss of 13 lives. A proper lighthouse was built on the island in 1816 by Robert Stevenson. During the height of the breeding season, over 200,000 seabirds nest on the island, including puffins, black-legged kittiwakes, razorbills, guillemots, shags, fulmars, oystercatchers, eider ducks, and various species of tern and gull.
