The name Cellardyke has its origins in Sil'erdykes, which is believed to have come from the shine from the herring scales left in the nets when hung over walls (or dykes) to dry in the sun. Cellerdyke has more or less been swallowed up by the expansion of Anthruther. The walls of the harbour can just be seen over the rooftops.
