Description:
A short quay divides St Andrews Harbour into two areas. The Outer Harbour is more exposed and water levels here are completely dependent on the state of the tide. However, sluice gates by the quay mean that the depth of water in the Inner Harbour can be controlled. The division between the two parts of the harbour is very old and can be seen on a sixteenth-century map of St Andrews.
