The place has an old fashioned air; and the red-tiled, two storey houses with outside stairs and jutting gables, the strings of bladders, and the big boats, hauled up on the shore or rocking in the harbour, all give it a picturesque look, which is lacking in modern watering-places.

 Scotland on Sunday - Scotland - £10m plan for high-speed ferry over the Forth
A passenger ferry service between Burntisland and Granton in the early 1990s failed because of lack of demand, no proper terminal and poor links into the centre of Edinburgh.
But with demand rising from a growing population in Fife, the major development of Edinburgh’s waterfront, plus firm plans for a £375m tram network linking the shores of the Forth with the city centre in 15 minutes, experts believe the climate has changed.
COMMUTING between Fife and Edinburgh could be transformed with the introduction of a high-speed passenger ferry link across the Firth of Forth.
