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.

A really surprising shop tucked away in Anstruther. Bought a lovely pair of front buttoning sailor trousers. Lots of non-gender specific clothing which is sadly so hard to find normally. Great service and delightful stock. Go and give yourself some time to browse.

I have previously attended one of Jo’s fabulous Candle Making Workshops which was such a friendly, personal, educating and lovely morning (with added home-baking which was delightful!) Fast forward to my own candle making journey and I truly appreciate how knowledgeable Jo really is in all aspects of the craft. A fab morning and would highly recommend!

Be prepared to spend a couple of hours in this fascinating museum with its wealth of memorabilia and full sized boats of many types. There's artefacts, photos and things to interest all ages and it's a unique insight into a vanishing world. Afterwards, sample one of the many brilliant fish and chip shops along the sea front and you'll newly appreciate the bravery of the fishing crews that caught your meal.

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.
