Scope and Content View from west showing Harbour, 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. Crail harbour was first built in the late 15th or early 16th century. The burgh tried unsuccessfully for many years to have the harbour extended because the approach was surrounded by rocks. Improvements were finally made to the original harbour c.1862. This view shows the crane, erected in 1862, which was used to place booms across the entrance to protect boats in the harbour in stormy weather. Today, the harbour is used by only a few small boats for lobster fishing. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
