Crail is noted for its architecture with fine examples from merchant houses in the Marketgate and Nethergate to fisher lofts in the narrow streets leading down to the medieval harbour. There are many examples of Fife's stone buildings with red pantiled roofs and crow-step gables.

Of the origin 3 medieval marketplaces the Marketgate survives with the mercat cross near to the old Tollbooth.

Crail Harbour is probably one of the most photographed or painted attractions in Scotland. The original 'piano-leg' harbour wall dates from the 12th century, extended in the 16th century and the west pier added by Robert Stevenson in 1826. In the 18th and 19th centuries white fish and herring were landed here but today the catch is mainly crab and lobster.

The streets and wynds throughout Crail are picturesque and full of character, and are well worth exploring.

There are many attractions in the burgh including two art galleries The Crail Gallery which sells prints and photographs reflecting the East Neuk and the Jerdan Gallery which sells work of contemporary artists.

This picturesque Royal Burgh lies on the east coast of Scotland in a little corner of Fife known as The East Neuk.

Steeped in the history of Scotland, you can still hear the curfew bell which welcomed Mary of Guise to Scotland. (She was the mother of Mary Queen of Scots).
