These shallow caves and limestone arches along the Fife coastal trail are a must visit if you're passing by. It's said that one of these caves housed St Adrian, and you can see many crosses carved into the rock inside. He was later killed by invading Danes in 875 AD.

These caves were formed by erosion from the sea before the land level was changed and you can now see them raised to their current elevated height.

Crail Harbour

Highlight • Viewpoint

Crail has been a market town since permission was granted for the market in 1178. The harbour has always been used but the present stone harbour defence was first built in 1610. The current west pier was built in 1828 and includes unusual vertical coursing of the stonework.
Today it's a popular and pretty seaside town with great coastal walking in both directions.
