Crail Attractions

In a fit of anger the devil is said to have thrown a piece of the Isle of May at the church in Crail but fortunately he missed. What other explanation could there be for the huge stone in the graveyard? Crail (pop. 1,300) may well be at the center of many legends, but there is always a pleasant atmosphere in the village, especially when the fishing boats land their catches of prawns and lobsters and the fishermen prepare them on the quayside. The whitewashed houses with stepped gables and red pantile roofs are favorite subjects for painters and photographers.
