This 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle from Gibsons is of Crail Harbour in Fife, Scotland. Definitely the most picturesque harbour in the East Neuk, it is best viewed from the West Braes, as you come in to Crail from Anstruther. Surrounding the harbour are houses dating back to the 17th Century, with white walls and red pan tiled roofs. One of these used to be the customs house and on the side has a plaque bearing the town arms. The harbor has even been recreated in a detailed scaled model in Lego Land. No longer a viable fishing village, Crail Harbour is a popular tourist distination along the east coast of Scotland.In the harbour are a few small boats that go partan (edible crabs) and lobster fishing, which are sold at the harbour and at the various fish merchants and sheds throughout the East Neuk villages

Terry Harrison is a favourite jigsaw puzzle desinger of Gibsons with fourteen differents puzzle pictures in the Gibsons catalogue. His 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles vary widely in theme but his harbour scenes are hugely popular. Terry Harrison was born near Wendover into an RAF family and consequently spent his early years moving from base to base, eventually settling in Farnborough, Hampshire. After attending Farnham Art School, Terry became a graphic artist working in London before joining the Yellow Pages as an illustrator and later Thompson Directories in their Farnborough head office. During his leisure time, Terry pursued his true passion which was landscape painting and by 1984 the demand on his original work was so great that he decided to paint full time and has never looked back! A few years later, Terry began to publish his work as fine art prints and in 1996 was awarded the Best Up and Coming Published Artist of the Year by the Fine Art Trade Guild. The increasing popularity of Terry's work in both their original and printed formats (including cardboard jigsaw puzzles) is reflected in the ever increasing demand for his pictures both at home and abroad.His work can be found in collections around the world in Europe, Japan and the United STêtes.
