Information AboutEarlsferry |
|
Earlsferry was made a Royal Burgh in 1373 and became an important ferry port and fishing village; the harbour was destroyed in a storm in 1766 , by which time Elie had its own harbour. The two villages now largely share shops and other facilities, but they do retain a flavour of their historical identities. They are known as a tourist attraction offering Golf and Sailing , especially popular with domestic tourists from Edinburgh and Glasgow . A railway station was built in Elie in 1863. However, the line fell under the Beeching Axe and the station and tracks were subsequently closed and dismantled. EXTERNAL LINKS
