Pittenweem, 18 East Shore, Category A listed house at East Shore in Pittenweem, Scotland
The property at 18 East Shore is a two-storey house with a distinctive exterior made of rendered stone featuring painted trim around its openings. A slate roof tops the building, and a slanted dormer with an old cargo hoist marks its practical seafaring heritage.
The house was built as a dwelling in a port town shaped by maritime trade and remains among the oldest structures in the settlement. Its construction and design details received the highest architectural protection status, recognizing its importance to Scotland's building heritage.
The residence is part of Pittenweem's maritime architecture, a former fishing village where buildings like this one reflect Scotland's coastal heritage. Visitors walking along East Shore can see how ordinary homes shaped the identity of a working seafaring community.
The building sits directly on the waterfront street and is easily accessible on foot while exploring the village center. Visitors should note that this is a private residence and can only be viewed from the street.
The hoist point on the slanted dormer was once used to pull catch or goods directly into storage on the upper floor. Today it stands as a quiet reminder of how daily life was deeply tied to work from the water.
