Old photograph of people, shops and cars on College Street, Buckhaven, Fife, Scotland. I was born not far from College Street, in Randolph Street, Buckhaven. Once a thriving weaving village and fishing port, in 1831 it was reported as having the second largest fishing fleet in Scotland with a total of 198 boats. Fishing declined during the 19th century, but in the 1860s Buckhaven developed more into a mining town. Although coal waste blackened its beaches and silted up its now non existent harbour, it later became a Fife coast holiday resort and recreation area for locals. 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.
