The delightfully colourful harbour at Crail, Fife, another popular fishing village on the south coast of Fife, Scotland.
Commentary.
The south coast of Fife has become renowned for its architecturally splendid and picturesque fishing harbours, particularly, Anstruther, Crail and Pittenweem.
Tight, cradling harbour walls
surrounded by whitewashed cottages.
Roof tiles of bright orange.
Triangular gables at either end of the dwelling, often stepped,
right up to the chimney stack.
Smart rectangular windows and, typically, eight-paned windows.
Colourful, but working, fishing boats.
Ropes, hoists, nets and Lobster/Crab Creels.
Narrow lanes.
Steep, stepped pathways down to the harbour.
Photogenic fishing villages, but genuine working communities,
supplemented by a very healthy, visitor count.
Too crowded in the High season, best visit in Spring or Autumn, avoiding week-ends, Bank Holidays
or school holidays!
