Early Spring Houses And Harbour On Visit To Crail East Neuk Of Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland early Spring travel video of houses by the harbour on ancestry visit to Crail in the East Neuk of Fife. The settlement dates from as far back as the Pictish period. Well settled by the 800s, Crail was a thriving town by the 1100s and was made a royal burgh by Robert the Bruce in 1310. He also gave it the right to hold markets on a Sunday. At one time, Crail was the most important sea port in the East Neuk of Fife, a centre for the export of fish, salt mutton and wool to mainland Europe, particularly Holland. Crail continues to support some fishing as well as a significant tourist industry. All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
