Anstruther | MAP | | INFORMATION |

Anstruther Captains were famed for their seafaring skills and later in the 19th Century a number were actively involved in trade across the oceans, several in particular played a major role in the China tea trade. During the 19th century as trading ships got larger Anstruther increasingly turned to the fishing and the North Sea herring industry. Whole families would be involved with men at sea or mending nets and the women salting and packing the herring into barrels. Anstruther landed herring was particularly popular in Poland and the fishing fleet would follow the Herring run down the North Sea as far as Lowestoft.

Today the significant fishing port in the East Neuk is Pittenweem with the other harbours including Anstruther and Cellardyke being mostly used for pleasure craft. Indeed tourism is now the major industry for the town
