THE parish of Dunino is in the East Neuk of Fife, the east-most part of that county, where it projects into the North Sea. Until the middle of the 19th century the area relied largely on the sea to link it both with other parts of eastern Scotland and with northern Europe, with which it had extensive trade through its little ports, such as Crail, Pittenweem and Anstruther, all in their day prosperous, findependent trading burghs, all now largely holiday villages.
One of these burghs was St Andrews, on the eastern edge of the East Neuk, which had become a holy place, home of the relics of St Andrew, disciple of Christ, patron saint of Scotland, and origfinally a isherman, like his brother Peter and James and John, the sons of Zebedee.
