Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 40 reviews
Anstruther Lifeboat Station is available to the public to visit for most of the year. Displays and films illustrate the history and work of the RNLI. The viewing gallery provides a close-up view of the lifeboat (when it's at home and not out on a call!)

The RNLI volunteers at Anstruther - other lifeboat stations are available - do an amazing job, whether raising funds or saving lives. Well worth a look at their 1991 Mersey class self-righting offshore lifeboat, the "Kingdom of Fife". In the unfortunate circumstance that you ever see it in from the North Sea or the Firth of Forth, it's likely to be one of the most welcome sights in your life.

Really love the farmers market here that runs most months, it's been a great way to find new local producers, and the products are top quality.

Reviewed By ronniem140 - Inverness, United Kingdom
This seems to be an overlooked point of interest in Anstruther . Dreel Halls formerly an historical ancient church dating back to c870 . Now a meeting place but so much more when you see it and learn about its past .

The Anstruther Model Solar System is a true scale model of the Sun, the eight planets from Mercury to Neptune and the dwarf planets Ceres and Pluto. They are represented by 11 bronze plates around Anstruther which, together with the distances between them, are all to the same scale. The scale is 1 to ten thousand million. The plates are fixed to the wall, mostly along Shore Street in Anstruther.
