Introduction   This evening, I am posting information on the picturesque village of Crail (pop 1500).. Location is on the coast of the East Neuk of Fife,about 55 miles N.E.of Edinburgh .   Crail Harbour.  Information on Crail   Crail is a very old-and once very important commercial port- but activities are now basically confined to some fishing with tourism the main activity. More information: The name is derived from Caraile and means 'rock'. Home to a commercial pottery and the world's 7th oldest golf club, dating from 1786. Located on route of the 117 mile long Fife Coastal path. Attracts tourists with a wide range of interests including those focusing on crafts, photography and painting. At the harbour can be found the Crail Lobster Hut which specialises in fresh crustaceans There is a small, sandy beach which can be used in the warmer, summer months.
