Discover the history of the Scottish fishing industry on this exclusive tour


Join us on a guided tour of the Scottish Fisheries Museum to learn the story of the development of the Scottish commercial fishing industry. This will include the opportunity to go onboard the Reaper, a Fifie sailing herring drifter and part of the National Historic Fleet.

Venue

Will will meet at 11:00 at the Scottish Fisheries Museum in Fife, opposite the RNLI lifeboat station and a paid car parking area. You can find more information on getting to the museum on their website and on their accessibility page. The museum has a café and Anstruther also has an excellent fish and chipperies with indoor seating - though members brave enough to face the weather and the seagulls might prefer to dine out on the harbour walls!

Please note

As this tour will include sections outside and onboard the Reaper vessel, we recommend all attendees wear warm, wind-proof clothes that are suitable for the weather. Organisers will assess the weather forecast 5 days in advance to check for unfavourable conditions.

Who should attend

This event would be suitable for adults and children who want to learn more about the history of Scottish industry, or have an interest in boats.

Cost and booking

This event is open to all, and tickets cost £8 which covers entrance to the museum and the guided tour.
Spaces are limited and so advance registration is essential through the link at the top of the page.
