A little history
Pittenweem is the main working fishing harbour of the East Neuk of Fife — the village has been a fishing centre since medieval times. St Fillan's Cave, reached through a door in the village, is an extraordinary early Christian hermit's cave with a spring. The Pittenweem Arts Festival, held every August, fills the entire village with contemporary art.
St Fillan's Cave is extraordinary — the ancient cave spring and hermit's cell. The Arts Festival in August transforms the village. The harbour for fresh fish. The East Neuk coastal walk.
