Crail, Fife. The most easterly of Fife ports, Crail is a fishing town situated on a rocky coast. It is a highly picturesque little village in itself and has a fine view of the Lothian coast across the Firth of Forth to the South. Many artists come here.

Crail burgh was an important trading and fishing port until the 17^th century, when it suffered a mercantile setback coupled with an attack of the plague. In the 18^th century it was the haunt of smugglers, but in the last century it revived as a holiday resort for Edinburgh people. It still has some crab and lobster fishing.

The parish church dates to the late 12^th and early 13^th centuries, but it is much altered. There is an 8^th century Pictish cross slab inside the church, and another one set up in the Victoria Gardens. The tolbooth is partly 16^th century, the upper part having been added later. It has a Dutch bell with the date 1520 and a gilded copper salmon for a weather-vane.

Crail's wide, tree-lined Marketgate contains many small l7^th century houses. There is a scheme in operation by which the National Trust for Scotland buys, restores, and sells these houses gradually. The castle walk above the harbour gives views of St Abb's Head in the far East of Berwickshire.
