Scope and Content Detail of oak carving found at Kingsbarns and now at Old Manse, 3 Marketgate, 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. This is one of a series of oak carvings found attached to a garden seat in Kingbarns and removed to the manse in Crail in the late 19th century. Thought to be around 500 years old, they were probably originally attached to a rood-screen or an altar. Composed of three pieces of dark oak which fit together, this group depicts The Last Supper. The other set, which is carved from paler oak, consists of eight pieces which comprise twelve figures. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
