Crail Harbour

Definitely the most picturesque harbour
in the East Neuk, it is best viewed from the West Braes, as you come
in to Crail from Anstruther. Surrounding the harbour are houses dating
back to the 17th Century, with white walls and red pan tiled roofs.
One of these used to be the customs house and on the side has a plaque
bearing the town arms. The harbour has even been recreated in a detailed
scaled model in Lego Land.
In the harbour are a few small boats that
go partan (edible crabs) and lobster fishing, which are sold at the
harbour and at the various fish merchants and sheds throughout the East
Neuk villages.
