Isle of May

Travel Guide

I paid a visit to the amazing Isle of May on Saturday. For anyone who likes seabirds, it is a must. The weather was fantastic and the birds were unbelievable...noisy, smelly and absolutely everywhere. I'm not a birder by any means, but the puffins were great and I gave my jack-of-all trades 28-300 VR a good work-out.

One of Scotland's hidden gems. Towering Cliffs and thousands of Puffins and Birdlife on a remote island. Home to many Seals.
Day trips available from Anstruther, highly recommended
