Crail

Crail is a burgh in Fife, Scotland. It is built around a harbour, and has a museum and a pottery. The most notable building in the town is its twelfth century church. The Crail golf society is the seventh oldest in the world. Their oldest course, Balcomie, has been said to be the first to use circular golf holes; before then, they were all square-shaped. This is most likely a misunderstanding – the course was the first to use iron liners in their holes, and at some points the reference to the first "iron rings" has been taken as a reference to the first round holes.

On the beach beside the harbour it is possible to find fossilised trees, dating back to the carboniferous geological period.
