Pittenweem Harbour

Pittenweem Harbour
Pittenweem... is a fishing village and civil parish in Fife, on the east coast of Scotland. At the 2001 census, it had a population of 1,747. The name derives from Pictish and Scottish Gaelic. "Pit-" represents Pictish pett 'place, portion of land', and "-enweem" is Gaelic na h-Uaimh, 'of the Caves' in Gaelic, so "The Place of the Caves". The name is rendered Baile na h-Uaimh in modern Gaelic, with baile, 'town, settlement', substituted for the Pictish prefix. The cave in question is almost certainly St Fillan's cave, although there are many indentations along the rocky shores that could have influenced the name. Quoted from Wikipedia

Les villages de pêcheurs ont toujours un charme unique avec les parfums marins qui caressent nos narines.

Fishing villages have always been very attractive to me.
I love that lonely boat leaning against the breakwater: it seems to want to have a nice chat with the white house.
Thank you so much for the photos and information about this part of Scotland that unfortunately I have never visited, despite having been to your fabulous country three times.
And also for the etymologies I've always been passionate about.
Happy Sunday to you Joe
