Crail is the most easterly of the Royal Burghs in the East Neuk of Fife and also the oldest. Mention is made of the Burgh in ancient documents dating back to the 12th Century with the first Royal Charter for which there is documentary evidence granted by Robert the Bruce and signed at Stirling Castle in 1310.
Crail is now principally a fishing village specialising in crab and lobster as well as an attractive holiday resort, but in the 18th Century it was noted for its fishing of herring for salting and its produce of Crail Capons (Haddock dried in the sun or smoked in a chimney). During the 18th Century as many as 200 ships could be fishing from Crail Harbour.
If you would like to explore Crail and learn more of the Burgh’s long history including:
• The famous Weavers of Crail, one of whom, Thomas Kingo, emigrated to Denmark to weave tapestries for the Kronberg Palace, Elsinor and whose grandson became Bishop Kingo of Fyen. The marriage lintel of his house in Marketgate is still there today with a date of 1759
• The history of Crail Church where John Knox preached during the Reformation
• Our very own Dead House protecting bodies from grave robbers during the time of Burke and Hare
• The newly restored 16th Century Doocot
• Maggie Ingles – Crail’s very own witch
then join one of our Guided Walks.
