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

Were you walking the coastal path, Joe? We've dome quite a bit of it. Good depth of filed with the red campion and a member of the brassica family in the foreground.

I have done wee bits of the path, Amelia. We did a wee bit of it on this occasion, but we spent most of our time in Crail as the Festival was on. Thanks for your very kind comment. All the best, Joe
