Anstruther is a little seaside resort community in Fife, Scotland, positioned on the north-shore of the Firth of Forth and 9 mi (14 km) south-southeast of St Andrews. The town consists of two settlements, Anstruther Easter and Anstruther Wester, which are split by a stream, the Dreel Burn. With a population of 3,500, it is the largest community on the Firth of Forth's north-shore shoreline referred to as the East Neuk. To the east, it combines with the village of Cellardyke. Started as an angling town, Anstruther is residence to the Scottish Fisheries Museum. Its primary sector is currently tourist, although other small production and also solution sectors continue. Recreational vessels are currently moored in the harbour, and a fairway is positioned near the community. Anstruther Pleasure Cruises operate sightseeing/wildlife cruise ships from the harbour to the Island of May, the UK's primary puffin place, aboard the vessel the May Princess from April to October. An abundance of various other wild animals, consisting of seal nests, also populate the island. The Waid Academy, the local state extensive school, is a focus of the community and also with its secondary role as a community centre. Anstruther has a parish church at its centre that gets on a tiny hill. This structure incorporates a tower/spire function unusual to Britain, but common to the location.
