Dysart Harbour The inner harbour dries at low water, but when the tide is high, as here, the small craft are all afloat. The outer harbour is used by a host of pleasure craft and a number of small fishing vessels. The harbour is leased to Dysart Sailing Club.

Dysart Harbour "I came to myself in darkness, in great pain, bound hand and foot, and deafened by many unfamiliar noises. (...) The whole world now heaved giddily up, and now rushed giddily downward; and so sick and hurt was I in body, and my mind so much confounded, that it took me a long while, chasing my thoughts up and down, and ever stunned again by a fresh stab of pain, to realise that I must be lying somewhere bound in the belly of that unlucky ship, and that the wind must have strengthened to a gale. (...) I heard a gun fire, and supposed the storm had proved too strong for us, and we were firing signals of distress. The thought of deliverance, even by death in the deep sea, was welcome to me. Yet it was no such matter; but (as I was afterwards told) a common habit of the captain's, which I here set down to show that even the worst man may have his kindlier side. We were then passing, it appeared, within some miles of Dysart, where the brig was built, and where old Mrs. Hoseason, the captain's mother, had come some years before to live; and whether outward or inward bound, the Covenant was never suffered to go by that place by day, without a gun fired and colours shown." - R L Stevenson, Kidnapped 1886

Dysart Harbour "But the little fishing towns were generally disagreeable to pass, from the strong smell of the haddocks and whitings that were hung up to dry on lines along the sides of the houses from one end of the village to the other; and such numbers of half-naked children, but fresh-coloured, strong, and healthy, I think are not to be met with in the inland towns. Some will have their numbers and strength to be the effects of shellfish." -- Cpt. Edmund Burt, Letters from A Gentleman in the North of Scotland, 1754
