Crail

East Neuk of Fife

Crail is popular with both Scottish holiday makers and foreign visitors. The area is also a haven for artists with the harbour, coastal scenes and local architecture particularly attractive. Crail harbour, with its little houses, white walls, crowstepped gables and red pantile roofs, are featured on the front of countless brochures and, indeed, images of the harbour adorn the walls of art galleries and private collections throughout the world.

Crail is, of course, located in prime golfing country with The Crail Golfing Society, one of the oldest clubs in the world, playing at Balcomie Links. St Andrews is only ten miles away with Kingsbarns even closer. Cycling and walking are also very popular.
