Thousands of people sampled a taste of Fife at the weekend.
Visitors flocked to the East Neuk to take part in the fourth Crail Food Festival which, this year, was bigger than ever.
The two-day festival was expanded from two to six venues so that people could explore the village while sampling some fantastic local food.
Tasting sessions were on offer, along with chef demonstrations, cookery classes for children and interactive food art fun.
Food and treasure trails, cupcake decorating with a seaside theme and family workshops were also available.
This year’s festival also included a Homecoming 2014 tasting collaboration between St Andrews Wine Company and Elie’s award-winning Ardross Farm Shop, as well as a chance to enjoy a pie and a pint and a beer and tapas event.
There was even the opportunity to celebrate World Gin Day in the town’s Marine Hotel on Saturday night.
The action moved to the waterfont on Sunday, where visitors were invited to lunch in the beautiful setting of the town’s ancient harbour.
Festival founder Graham Anderson said: “Cookery classes for the kids are a must and the natural amphitheatre for lunch at Crail harbour on Sunday is iconic.”
Mr Anderson added that he hoped this year’s festival would surpass even the 2013 event, which attracted more than 4,000 people to the village over the weekend 40% of whom were from outwith Fife.
Some £75,000 was spent by those visitors, making the Crail Food Festival one of the top events in the Fife tourism calendar.
This year, participants included a number of local food and drink companies such as the St Andrews Farmhouse Cheese Company, the Eden Brewery and Balgove Larder.
Cellardyke-based Barnett’s Bakery also had a stall, along with Chilllicious which produces chilli products and art from its Pittenweem base.
Next year is Scotland’s Year of Food and Drink and organisers are already planning how best to expand the Crail Food Festival even further to tie in with the event.
