( Above image illustrates Crail Harbour.) This evening, I am posting information on the picturesque village of Crail which is located on the coast of the East Neuk of Fife,about 55 miles N.E. of Edinburgh. 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..  Crail Pottery products   Lobster pots at Crail Harbour Crail Lobster Hut © Nigel P Cole/Catswhiskerstour...
