Anstruther


There is also a P. G. Wodehouse character named Mr. Anstruther.
Anstruther (Enster in Scots, Eanstar in Scottish Gaelic and also meaning Little Stream) is a small town in Fife, Scotland. The two Anstruthers are divided by a small stream called Dreel Burn. Anstruther lies 9 miles south-southeast of St Andrews. It is the largest community on the stretch of north-shore coastline of the Firth of Forth known as the East Neuk, with a population of about 3,500 people. The village of Cellardyke forms an easterly extension of Anstruther.
It is believed to be of ancient origins, with archaeological and other evidence providing links to the Picts and the early Christian church.
It was originally a fishing village, and is home to the Scottish Fisheries Museum, but its main industry is now tourism, although other small scale manufacturing and service industries continue. Pleasure craft now moor in the harbour, and there is a golf course. The Waid Academy, the local state comprehensive school, is often a focus of the community and through its secondary role as a community centre offers a wide range of activities & sports, and hosts entertainment for young and old. Sports Hall, Gym, Swimming pool etc are also situated here and open to public use. (...) more....

    Of Anstruther, you can visit the Isle of May! Tens of thousands of seabirds come to nest there every year. The highlight is probably the 80,000 pairs of puffins. Is a report on the island it: http://articlemill.blogspot.com/2010/11/isle-of-may-ein-schottisches-juwel-im.html
