Summary
editDescriptionPittenweem roofs - geograph.org.uk - 363093.jpg |
English: Pittenweem roofs Until refrigeration was invented, herring were gutted and put in barrels with salt to preserve them. Sailing ships came from Holland (Netherlands) to buy the fish. As they were sailing to Scotland without a cargo they needed to load ballast for weight to keep the ships balanced. Often sailors used rocks, which they could throw overboard before they loaded their cargo. However the Dutch sailors loaded red roof tiles as ballast and sold them when they arrived in port. That is why houses in the "East Neuk" of Fife have red pantile roofs. |
