Anstruther Lifeboat Station

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!)

Reviewed By I4984FMjohnt - Aviemore, United Kingdom

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.

The Swilcan Bridge

The famous Swilcan Bridge on the 18th hole of the Old Course at the Home of Golf. The bridge was originally built over 700 years ago so shepherds could move their flock across the Swilcan Burn which meanders through what is now the 1st and 18th fairways. Today the Swilcan Bridge, with the 'Auld Grey Toun' providing the most beautiful of backdrops, is one of the most iconic settings in golf. So much more than a little stone crossing, the Swilcan Bridge is the history of the game, it's the magic moments, it's felt the footsteps of the true greats.

A must visit and photo opportunity for golf lovers. Sunday is the only day to visit and take pictures at this golf history site unless you are lucky enough to plat the Old Course!

Found this hidden gem while visiting Dunfermline abbey. Very informative museum reflecting the life of Andrew Carnegie. Great staff as well! Thank you for advising my wife on buying the proper Carnegie biography - she managed to finish the whole thing during our holidays and has become an expert on steel production in the process ;-)
