Tour Scotland Winter travel video of waves by the coastal walking path and harbour on ancestry visit to Cellardyke, East Neuk of Fife. The harbour was built in the 16th century and was rebuilt in 1829. Fishing was a hazardous occupation for the fishermen of Cellardyke, and over the years a number of boats from Cellardyke were lost. On 30 December 1814, a boat carrying a crew of three was lost en route to Burntisland; all three of the passengers died. On 6 April 1826 a boat was lost. Seven of the crew perished and one survived. On 28 May 1844 a boat with eight crew members was lost. Two years later, on 23 April 1846 a boat with seven crew was lost. On 3 November 1848 a boat with eight crew was lost. The next loss occurred on 10 May 1865, when a boat with eight crew disappeared. In 1910 a boat from Pittenweem sank off Cellardyke with the loss of three lives. There was one survivor. The Fife Coastal Path is a Scottish long distance walking footpath that runs from Kincardine to Newburgh. It runs for 117 miles along the coastline of Fife and passes through many seaside towns and villages. The path would take around one week to walk completely from end to end. I was raised in Cellardyke and attended Cellardyke Primary School and Waid Academy in Anstruther.
