David Birrell CEng 1926-1997
David (on the right in the photo c1960), son of Thomas Tait Birrell (on the left), was born in Bass View, West Forth St, Cellardyke. Though the family soon moved to London for work, David spent many of his childhood holidays with his mother, father and other relatives in Anstruther and surrounding villages. He had a great fondness for this place and walked the quay many times with a bag of fish and chips from the fish bar. Some of his ashes were cast into the sea at the entrance to the harbour.
