Scottish Fisheries Museum

The Scottish Fisheries Museum occupies several buildings around a cobbled courtyard, featuring galleries dedicated to boats, fishing equipment, and maritime artifacts.

Established in 1969, the museum includes two Category A listed buildings: a 16th-century Abbot's lodging and an 18th-century merchant's house near Anstruther harbor.

The collection of 66,000 items includes historical photographs, paintings, costumes, and fishing gear that document the evolution of Scottish maritime traditions.

The museum provides accessible facilities, including ramps, parking spaces, and a tearoom serving various dietary options in a courtyard setting.

The museum maintains the Reaper, a 104-year-old twin-masted Fifie herring drifter that still sails during summer months and participates in maritime events.
