The Scottish Fisheries Museum was founded in the old fishing port of Anstruther, at a property known as St Ayles, as a trust and charity in 1969, to collect, record and interpret the history of the fishing industry in Scotland. The Museum collections of over 65,000 artefacts, including full size fishing vessels, received 'Recognition of National Significance' status in 2007.
The Museum has a small team of paid staff plus significant volunteer support. The Museum has full accreditation status as a 'nationally styled' museum and is a major tourist attraction and community hub in the East Neuk of Fife.
