Description
Excerpt from Knight of the Nets
It would be easy to walk many a time through "Fife and all the lands about it" and never once find the little fishing village of Pittendurie. Indeed, it would be a singular thing if it was found, unless some special business or direction led to it. For clearly it was never intended that human beings should build homes where these cottages cling together, between sea and sky, - a few here, and a few there, hidden away in every bend of the rocks where a little ground could be levelled, so that the tides in stormy weather break with threat and fury on the very doorstones of the lowest cottages.
Yet as the lofty semicircle of hills bend in ward, the sea follows; and there is a fair harbour, where the fishing boats ride together while their sails dry in the afternoon sun.
