St Serf's Tower is all that remains of a major church dating back to at least the 1220s (13th century). The tower was added
in the early 15th century and has gun loops used to protect the village and nearby harbour as well as the local St Clair family
but the church fell out of use by about 1800 or so.
Seventy-two feet high, seven floors, it was used during both world wards as an observation post overlooking the River Forth.
The street of restored white houses with red roofs along the shore in front of the tower is called Pan Ha', named for the salt works so prevalent along this coast. Two of the buildings closest to the harbour were pubs built in 1582 and 1585. Thirsty work, fishing.
