Cabins near Anstruther

·

Steeped in maritime history, the small Fife town of Anstruther remains a thriving port. Colourful stone cottages line the sea front, facing the harbor where a jumble of fishing boats bob in the water. The town lies along the Fife Coastal Path, making it an appealing stop whether you’re tackling the entire 116-mile long-distance walking route or just a few sections. The fish and chips here are legendary so be sure to visit one of the seafront chippies. The fascinating Scottish Fisheries Museum also deserves your time, as does a boat trip to the Isle of May puffin colony, just offshore.

*PLEASE NOTE THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR WEEKEND BOOKINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. CAMPING OPEN FROM 1st May to End August* Cleghorn Farm is a mixed farm just north east of the market town of Lanark. Comprised of 250 acres of fields and woodland and bounded to the south by Mouse Water, it is a beautiful spot to get away from it all without having to leave it all behind if you don't want to. The fields are grazed and cultivated but the woodlands are much as they were at the end of the last ice age with spectacular walks along Cleghorn Glen with the chance to see badgers, bats, deer and all manner of birds among the towering pine and beech trees. The Mouse Water (pronounced moose) tumbles down along the edge of the farm and has some glorious pools for swimming, shallows for paddling and some spectacular water falls before it joins the River Clyde, all a gentle walk from the sites.

Built in 1733, King Garth is also known as The Old Customs House, reflecting its role in these fraught times of smuggling. Its strategic position on the banks of The Eden served as the perfect lookout for a bailiff employed by Carlisle Corporation to protect the very important salmon fishery. The plaques on the building which commemorate the visits by Mayors date back to the 1700s. These visits no doubt involved indulgent banquets centring around freshly caught salmon I grew up on the opposite side of the river. On family walks along the Eden I was always fascinated by the house on the other side sited in such an amazing position. In 2010, when I returned to Cumbria I was amazed to hear that this house was for sale. It was a ruin and everyone told me I was mad..... I probably was a little! But I soon realised that I wasn’t alone in my love of this house, everyone I met from the surrounding villages had a tale to tell about this iconic place. King Garth is for sharing - with locals, (we have an annual barbecue), with wildlife and with people like you. The aim when renovating King Garth was to celebrate and embrace its history. King Garth is off grid and has no running water. It is furnished in a style to reflect its history. It isn’t everyone’s ‘cup of tea’: you have to drive a mile down a muddy lane, there is no hot shower, no electric lighting, and a compost toilet. BUT we offer beautiful evenings of candle light, log burner, hot tub under the stars and bathing in the river. My priority with King Garth and the land attached was to manage in a way to protect the abundant wildlife. There are also alpacas who you can look after during your stay. You will be astounded by the din the birds make at dawn and dusk! Inside the house there is an owl box where one summer a pair of barn owls successfully raised chicks. Since then a kestrel frequents the box and has twice laid there. This part of the Eden is tidal so both estuarine and river species co exist. Kingfishers and otters are often spotted And even the occasional seal! Kinggarth comes with fishing rights and if you want to fish this can be arranged with the host. The bird feeders are frequented by tree sparrows, yellow hammers, wood peckers, nut hatches and in winter red poll.

Anstruther camping guide

Where to go

Around the Town

One mile east of the harbor, Silverdyke Caravan Park is ideally situated for making the most of Anstruther’s charms and waking up to sea views. The park has plenty of hard-standing touring pitches for those with their own wheels (but no tent pitches). 

Crail

With its stone-built harbor and winding streets, Crail is another don’t-miss spot in the East Neuk, five miles northeast of Anstruther. Perched on the craggy shoreline, with views of the Isle of May, Sauchope Links Holiday Lodge & Caravan Park has a wide selection of accommodations on offer, with a selection of touring pitches in addition to glamping domes and beach huts.

Elie

At the southwestern end of the East Neuk, Elie is a popular seaside resort town known for its sandy beaches and golf course. Tucked behind the beach’s sand dunes, Elie Holiday Park at Shell Bay offers tent pitches, as well as touring pitches suitable for caravans, campervans, motorhomes and trailer tents. 

When to go

With optimum weather and long daylight hours, the area is busiest from May through September, with the summer school holidays (July/August) being the busiest. September promises cooler temperatures but fewer crowds, while April and May are the best times to see puffins on the Isle of May.

Know before you go

  • Many parks in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before traveling.
  • If you choose to wild camp, be sure to adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. 
  • A convenient bus service connects the towns along the coast. If planning to make several journeys in one day, buy a DayRider ticket for unlimited rides.
  • You can find basic supplies in Anstruther, but will find bigger shops in St. Andrews, 10 miles north
