The story of Kirkcaldy harbour from its 16th century royal connections, through the boom years of commercial shipping, to its recent rescue from dereliction by the international grain ships servicing the huge flour mill. The six fully illustrated chapters cover the early days; the never-ending series of repairs and extensions, including plans for two new harbours which were never completed; the 19th century whaling industry; wealthy shipowners and their grand houses (three of which remain); imports and exports; and the present day.
