COTTAGE East Neuk, Scotland. Early 1700s. Fire crackles, waves batter the house.

It used to be 3 houses, the most extreme of which partially caved in during the 20th century.

An elderly neighbour whose aunt and uncle used to own this house a long long time ago told us that the new harbour wall protects us to no end. Before that, you would supposedly get barrel waves to the front door in the worst of weathers.
