 | | The town consists of a street running eastward, with the Parish Church standing near the cast end, a street fronting the harbour, a newer street running parallel to these, on a line with the turnpike road, and several intersecting lanes running north and south. |
 | | It stands on the sea-shore of the Parish, on the road from Elie to Crail -one mile west south-west of Anstruther, ten and a half south south-east of St Andrews, and five east from the Kilconquhar station of the East of Fife Railway, which is as yet the nearest rail-way station. |
 | | Pittenweem is also an extensive fishcuring station, the number of crans brought into the harbour in 1860 being 14,730, the value of which amounted to about £13,000. |
