Scottish Fisheries Museum

Opened in 1969, the museum is situated on the harbour front in Anstruther, in the heart of the East Neuk crab and lobster fishing villages of St Monans, Pittenweem, Cellardyke and Crail.

It has grown over time into a sizable complex, occupying a number of converted buildings set around three sides of a cobbled courtyard.

These include two Category 'A' listed buildings: the 16th century Abbot's lodging and an 18th-century merchant's house, both of which have historical associations with the fishing life of the village.

The museum collection contains many model boats, fishing gear, a significant historical photographic archive and paintings.

In addition to the traditional exhibits, the museum also boasts a collection of 18 boats, the pride of which is the 104-year-old twin masted Fifie herring drifter, Reaper.
