The Pittenweem Fishermen’s Memorial is a beautiful sculpture which depicts a fisherman’s wife and child scanning the horizon for the return of their loved one. There is a plaque which says “The memorial is dedicated to the men and women who make their living from the sea and to those who have lost their lives in doing so.”
The artist is renowned figurative sculptor Alan Herriot DA ARBS, who has designed an emotive piece of art which evokes the nature and dangers of the fishing industry.
It stands as a reminder of the importance of fishing to the history and heritage of Pittenweem and the East Neuk coast of Fife.
The memorial is located over-looking the sea on Mid Shore.
