Cellardyke is a village in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The village is to the immediate east of Anstruther (the two effectively being conjoined) and is to the south of Kilrenny.
Cellardyke was formerly known as Nether Kilrenny (Scots for Lower Kilrenny) or Sillerdyke, and the harbour as Skinfast Haven, a name which can still be found on maps today. The harbour was built in the 16th century and was rebuilt in 1829-31.
The modern name of the town is thought to have evolved from Sillerdykes (Eng: silverwalls), a reference to the sun glinting off fish scales encrusted on fishing nets left to dry in the sun on the dykes around the harbour.
Cellardyke and Kilrenny were together a royal burgh from 1592, having been a burgh of regality since 1578.
Cellardyke is officially part of Kilrenny parish, and also part of the Anstruther fishing district, its fortunes fluctuating with the fishing trade. The population grew fast in the 19th century and by the 1860s Cellardyke was a thriving town, with more than fifty boat owners and skippers year round, and one hundred other captains joining in for the annual herring fishing drive or Lammas drave which took place around the Lammas festival on August 1. There was also a February surge in fishing, when shoals of herring arrived in the Firth of Forth. The fish curers of Cellardyke salted and smoked cod and herring from Anstruther as well as their own fish, sending some to London, and some as far as the West Indies.

Token casting, permanent, lasting
Rise on your own feet in your back
Rise imminent tools consummate rage
Socialist stage liberalize lies
Ideal allies colonial ties
Mirror of sin U.S.Akin
Our, mothered country, colony
Handed down by sovereignty
Alienate subversive tract, continental retro act
Intro-spective sucking fool
Underpaid redundancy
Leave uncultured primal wake
Endless fucking give n take
Race, run, reason, hatred, handed down
Raised run western in a kingdom
Missionary cast, culled, killing all opinion
Elementary boundaries, keep it underneath
Culturedepravity
I haven't been the dead heart inadequate
Abomination, spawn a tyranny
Rent, missionary sickness
Squeezing out the life, this, rudimentary seed
Bound, gagged, mutant elevation
This is what it feels like
Being what it is, not, knowing where to start
(you) can't walk away
Rise eminent fools consummate rage
Cultural stage fantasize lies
And idealize mirror of skin
U.S.A king locking you in.
Why sympathize, exemplified, paralysed
Taxed taken up
Handed down regal crown
You fucking fool with your social lies, alibies
Indifferent identities. end extreme, all extreme.
