Crail

Crail
Crail... is a former royal burgh, parish and community council area (Royal Burgh of Crail and District) in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The civil parish has a population of 1,812 (in 2011). The name Crail was recorded in 1148 as Cherel and in 1153 as Karel. The first element is the Pictish *cair (c.f. Welsh caer) meaning "fort", though this word seems to have been borrowed into Gaelic. The second element may be either Gaelic ail, "rocks", or more problematically Pictish *al; no certain instance of this word exists in P-Celtic. However, if the generic element were Pictish, then this is likely of the specific. Quoted from Wikipedia

The dressed crab shop isn't open - or is it? I don't like crab, but it's always nice to see it.

Not sure if the shop was open or not, Amelia. I like crab, but I tend to steer clear of it, due to my susceptibility to gout... aaaaaargh". Thanks for your very kind comment. All the best, Joe

A well composed and beautiful shot Joe. I didn't know crab was bad for gout! I like it, crab that is not gout. All the best, Rosa.
