If you’re looking for a wonderful day trip while visiting Edinburgh or St. Andrews, be sure to take a ride on the Osprey of Anstruther and wander around the Isle of May. Located just five miles across the water from the beautiful town of Anstruther, it’s only a 25 minute ride to the island. We spent about 2.5 hours on the island and felt like we could have stayed longer. I’ve already posted my puffin photos on a previous post and here are a few non-puffin photos.

The puffins were my original reason for booking the tour and I was rewarded by seeing thousands of them! I can’t resist sharing one more puffin photo!
Truly a great afternoon enjoying nature!!
I’m enjoying your tour (and I would LOVE that Osprey!). In fact, I’m sitting here watching The Open while catching up on blogs 🙂
The puffins are adorable and that lighthouse is beautiful!

I don’t know you personally but I have a feeling you would LOVE Scotland. We saw plenty of motorcylists throughout our road trip!
