Old Travel Blog Photograph Of Fishing Nets On The Pier Pittenweem East Neuk Of Fife Scotland
Old travel Blog photograph of fishing nets on the pier at the harbour in Pittenweem, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Founded as a fishing village around a probably early Christian religious settlement, Pittenweem grew along the shoreline from the West where the sheltered beaches were safe places for fishermen to draw their boats up out of the water. Later a breakwater was built, extending out from one of the rocky skerries that jut out South West into the Firth of Forth like fingers. This allowed boats to rest at anchor rather than being beached, enabling larger vessels to use the port. A new breakwater further to the east was developed over the years into a deep, safe harbour with a covered fish market. As the herring disappeared from local waters and the fishing fleet shrank, this harbour and its attendant facilities became the main harbour for the fishermen of the East Neuk of Fife.

Old travel Blog photograph of the fishing boat named " Kyrene " on the beach at Ullapool, Scotland. A village in the Scottish Highlands. On the east shore of Loch Broom, Ullapool was founded in 1788 as a herring fishing port by the British Fisheries Society. It was designed by Thomas Telford. The harbour is still the edge of the village, used as a fishing port, yachting haven, and ferry port. Ferries sail to Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides. The village lies on the A835 road from Inverness. The Ullapool River flows through the village. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
