Visit the prawn fishermen at Pittenweem Harbour, and you’ll find the Fishermen’s Memorial, a striking tribute “to the men and women who make their living from the sea and to those who have lost their lives in doing so.”
More than art, it is a reminder of the importance of fishing to the history and heritage of Pittenweem and the East Neuk of Fife.
