Newhaven Heritage
Explore the rich history of Newhaven, a unique fishing village on the Forth, proud of its enduring traditions and culture.
"It's no fish ye're buying, it's men's lives."
The fishwives of Newhaven said this when storms made fishing dangerous and the price of fish went up. This phrase became famous around the world after author Sir Walter Scott used it in his 1816 book, The Antiquary
