Scope and Content View from north-west showing Nos 8-10 Castle Street and No 1 Rose Wynd, Crail, Fife Crail was created a royal burgh in 1310, with a royal castle just to the east of the burgh. Fishing was the main industry in the town throughout its history, but this declined during the 19th century, and the town now relies on tourism. These 17th-/18th-century houses on Castle Street and Rose Wynd display many features characteristic of Fife fishing villages, including the crowstepped gables, pantiled roofs with lower courses of slates, and external forestairs to first floors. In 1961, Nos 5 and 6 Rumford, Crail, were the first houses to be restored under The National Trust for Scotland's 'Little Houses Improvement Scheme'. This scheme has funded restoration work on many houses in Crail, and indeed, across Scotland. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
