Scope and Content Engraving showing 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 engraving shows Crail with the spire of the tolbooth's original tower visible in the distance. Below this is the harbour with the masts of boats sheltered within. A number of fishing cottages can also be seen grouped above the cliffs. Fishing was Crail's main industry until the late 19th century. With the decline in the herring industry, the harbour is now used by only a few small boats for lobster fishing. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
