Fishing in Fife:
The East Neuk of Fife was historically a well-known fishing area. Following E.U regulations on conservation of fishing stocks, the fishing industry is now in decline. The area is full of pretty villages and tourism could be the way forward. We travel out into the North Sea on a boat fishing for prawns. We talk to ex-fisherman Davie Smith about what is happening to Fife's once thriving fishing industry and how tourism is replacing it as a mainstay of the local economy.
