A00548A Crail Village with a rainbow

Crail is a picturesque little village situated on the northern banks of the Firth of Forth on the east coast of Scotland. The village lies almost in the southeast corner of Fife, an area commonly referred to as the "East Neuk" of Fife. It has a long history dating back to early settlements and later inhabited by the predecessors of the Scots, the "Picts". By the 12th century it was a thriving village and it became a Royal Burgh sanctioned by King William the Lion. Granted by King Robert the Bruce, it became a busy weekend market place much to the displeasure of the church. The pretty harbour was built by the end of the 16th century and underwent modifications at later dates. Below the rainbow lies the disused Crail Aerodrome which first opened in the first world war for the navy. It was active during WWII and its military function ceased in the 1960's. The village today is hot on the tourism trail and receives plenty visitors internationally as well as locals.
