Isle of May

Starting with a boat trip from Anstruther we will visit to the spectacular Isle of May, the island home to thousands of sea birds including 40 00 pairs of puffins who at this time of the year will have spring cleaned their burrows and be sitting on eggs. The Stevenson Lighthouse is worth a visit. May Isle is a long rocky island of 1.8 km with sheer cliffs and caves.
