Scottish Fisheries Museum reopens to public

The Scottish Fisheries Museum in Anstruther becomes the latest attraction to reopen its doors today.

It comes after the easing of lockdown restrictions earlier this week paved the way for venues to welcome visitors back.

It has a new exhibition for 2021 opening next month, By the Seaside: Heritage, Healing and New Horizons - along with a Kipper the Cat Trail for youngsters.

The museum tells the stories of Scotland's fishing industry, with 18 galleries and a fleet of historically important vessels inside and at Anstruther Harbour.

Linda Fitzpatrick, curator, said: "We’re thrilled to welcome visitors once again. As well as our popular exhibits and historic vessels, we have some great new additions for everyone to enjoy including our latest exhibition.

"By the Seaside: Heritage, Healing and New Horizons takes a timely look at how our blue spaces can inspire wellbeing. There’s no doubt that spending time outdoors has been important to everyone over the past year and weaving together history, art, psychology and the senses, this fascinating exhibition explores why."
