Trip to the Isle of May

Beautiful warm day on Wednesday with light winds and the May Princess was full as we left Anstruther Harbour. We were overtaken by the RIB 'Osprey' as we neared the island.

Also saw the RIB from the Sea Bird Centre in North Berwick.

 Approaching Kirkhaven on the island, Stevenson's lighthouse prominent.

 The May Princess tied up at Kirkhaven.

The remains of Scotland's first lighthouse. The beacon was first lit in 1636. In 1816 its beacon was replaced by Stevenson's lighthouse.
