At first, it was nothing more than the unimproved shores of the Kinness Burn without any built harbour-works. During medieval times and through to the 16th century, the harbour witnessed a significant development with the construction of an extensive pier, bulwark to seaward and quays to accommodate shipping and serve merchants and many tourists at the time, whilst the town was developing as an influential academic, ecclesiastical and trading centre. Later with further development, the harbour has become home to a small, yet growing flotilla of pleasure craft and a small fishing fleet that in its heyday comprised over 50 vessels. The Harbour and Pier is in all aspects an exemplification of the vernacular tradition in Scottish harbour works. As one of the most iconic sites of St Andrews, student traditions of the University such as the Gaudie and Pier Walk take place at the pier annually. <p>For more information on the history of Harbour and Pier, see <a href="https://maths.curious-sta.org/harbour-and-pier/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1300s Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource yl238 Subject The topic of the resource Botany,Natural History,Photography Europeana Specific elements of the Europeana Semantic Elements.
