CRAIL,
i^ Royal Burgh of great antiquity, 4 miles E. of
Anstiuther, aiid 29 E. of Kinghorn, was ancient-
ly called Caryle or Cairraile, and is mentioned by
old historians as a town of considerable note, so
early as the middle of the 9th century. The church
is an ancient fabric, still entire, erected in 1517. —
The celebrated James Sharp, archbishop of St. An-
drew's, was once minister of this church, and his
hand-writing is still to be seen in the session records.
A little to the cast of the harbour is the castle where
David 1. resided. The town consists of two streets,
and two or three lanes ; the northinosc street is
broad aud spacious, and contains some good houses,
though the town bears evident marks of antiquity.
The harbour is small and incommodious. Tiie
white fishery has been tolerably successful. Crail is
the residence of persons of distinction, and its inha-
bitants are spirited and enterprising. A coal-pit
was opened some years since, from which coal v*f an
excellent quality is procured. A similar undertak-
ing has now commenced, and from the capital em-
ployed, with the enterprise aud spirit of the proprie-
tor, sanguine hopes are entertained of its complete
success. Crail is governed by three bailies, a trea-
surer, and from eleven to hfteeu councillors. It
has seven incorporated trades, and joins with Kil-
renny, East and West Anstruther, and Pittenweem,
in sending a member to parliament. A golf club
was founded in 1740, aud consists of about thirty
membeis; the links are most excellently suited for
an amuseiuent, so useful as a recreation, aud so
conducive to health.
