Anstruther Attractions

Up until the 1940s the pretty port at Anstruther (pop. 3,300) was the center of the Scottish herring industry.

"The Manse", the oldest surviving parsonage in Scotland, bears the date 1590. The parish church of St Andrew a few yards further on was consecrated in 1634.

Typical Visit

30 minutes

North Carr Lightship & Fishing Boat

In the Anstruther harbor a fishing boat used at the turn of the century and the North Carr lightship (1933-75) are both open to the public.
As the headquarters for the Maritime Volunteer Service, every effort is made to open on Sunday afternoons - subject to availability of staff.

Scottish Fisheries Museum

The story of Anstruther's rise and fall is told in the Scottish Fisheries Museum by the harbor.
