Shore Anchor

The old anchor that sits outside Shore Anchor gallery in Kinghorn catches the light differently depending on when you visit - that's the first thing that strikes you about this place. It's a modest setup, really, but there's something about a converted waterfront space that makes even a small contemporary gallery feel significant.

Inside you'll find rotating exhibitions of local and emerging artists. The work tends toward the accessible side of contemporary - paintings, sculpture, photography - rather than anything deliberately obscure. Staff are genuinely knowledgeable without being pushy, which helps when you're just browsing on a quiet afternoon.

It's worth a proper look if you're already in Kinghorn, which you might well be if you're staying at Sandhills Caravan Park up the coast. The gallery won't take more than an hour, and on a decent day the walk along to it is as much the point as what's hanging on the walls. The views across the Firth are decent.

Really, this works best for people who actually care about looking at art rather than ticking off attractions. Families with restless kids might find it a bit thin for their needs. The admission situation varies with exhibitions, so ring ahead or check their Facebook page before making the journey from the caravan park. If you're an art-minded traveller killing time between other things, though, it's worth the stop.
