Tour Scotland Photographs Houses And Harbour Crail

Tour Scotland photograph of houses and and harbour at Crail, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Crail, on the Fife Coastal Path, has many old houses and cottages and is best explored on foot to capture the quiet atmosphere of an old Scottish fishing village. Crail became a Royal Burgh in the 1178. Robert the Bruce granted permission to hold markets on a Sunday, in the Marketgait, where the Mercat Cross now stands in Crail. This practice was still continuing in the 16th century, causing concern in the freshly puritanical circles of Edinburgh such that John Knox was moved to deliver a sermon in Crail Parish Church, damning the fishermen of the East Neuk for working on a Sunday. Despite the protests, the markets continued and were amongst the largest in Europe for their time.

Tour Scotland Photographs Houses Cellardyke East Neuk Of Fife

Tour Scotland photograph of houses and and shoreline at Cellardyke, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. I was raised in this old fishing village in Scotland. Cellardyke is officially part of Kilrenny parish, and also part of the Anstruther fishing district, its fortunes fluctuating with the fishing trade. The population grew quickly in the 19th century and by the 1860s Cellardyke was a thriving town, with more than fifty boat owners and skippers year round, and one hundred other captains joining in for the annual herring fishing drive or Lammas drave which took place around the Lammas festival on August 1. There was also a February surge in fishing, when shoals of herring arrived in the Firth of Forth. The fish curers of Cellardyke salted and smoked cod and herring from Anstruther as well as their own fish, sending some to London, England, and some as far as the West Indies.
