It is difficult to imagine
today that in the early 19th century, Buckhaven,
on the Firth of Forth was reputed to have the
Scotland's second-largest fleet of around 200
fishing boats. It also had thriving textile
weaving and coal mining industries but eventually
all these declined and Buckhaven became a small
holiday resort.
The local Museum features the
history of the fishing industry and is worth a
visit.
