  • Scottish Fisheries Museum Model Boat Club a Local History
    Scottish Fisheries Museum Model Boat Club A Local History Men have gone to sea since time immemorial to harvest the ‘silver darlings’ and other types of fish for our tables. The time spent ashore was not wasted, in that the fishermen continued to pursue their interest in fishing and boats by making sailing models of their working craft. It must be remembered that times were hard and there was not much money to spare. The hobby began by making boat hulls from blocks of wood, hewn by hand and thereafter refined into sleek hulled vessels. Lead for ballast was scavanged from the foreshore and when the boats were complete the men and boys came together to sail them in rivers oand on the foreshore. In the Fife area the boat design was based mailt on the Fifie design, Examples of which may be seen within the Scottish Fishereis Museum. Model yacht enthusiasts at Cellardyke 1933 In 1932 an open air swimming pool was built at the east end of Cellardyke which gave the hobby of boat building and sailing a great boost. A club was formed known as ‘The East Fife Model Sailing Club’ which attracted many local members. At one time there were more than 140 members. After much building and refining of hull shape and sail rig the first big race was held on 2nd January 1933, when two cups were sailed for, the Wilson and the Sheriff Cup. Later a further cup, the Mitchell cup was also donated, showing the interest and support shown by local business persons Iane Duncan, Secretary, Scottish Fisheries Museum Model Boat Club Shortly after a pool was also built at St Monans, three miles west of Anstruther, which gave rise to rivalry and competition between the two towns.

The magistrates had the ordinary jurisdiction of Kilrenny Parish Including magistrates of Royal Burghs, until, in Cellardyke consequence of an error in a previous election, it was disfranchised in 1828; since which period, all municipal matters have been under the charge of This Parish, containing the inland village of managers appointed by the Court of Session.
