Crail Harbour
Image taken : 2018-05-01 - 11:38 Fujifilm X-Pro2, XF 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR @ 20.80mm, 1/125sec, f/11, ISO200, (3-shot stitch).
The eastern pier, hooking round to the south, is known to have been substantially complete by 1583. In 1610 it is described as "new foundit" (newly built). However, in 1707 it is called "old and ruinous", requiring rebuilding.
The west pier was rebuilt in 1828 by Robert Stevenson. This work incorporated the crane on the southwest corner which lifts timbers into slots to seal the inner harbour.
The structure of the inner walls of the harbour features a highly unusual vertical coursing of the stones.
