    Hey sorry Roger.... nearly missed this Gem of a video..... I am definitely wanting to do this one mate... hey.... if I could describe how much I like your videos.... I would say... make a brew.... turn the lights down low.... get your cream cakes out or Mr kipling out if your on a budget.... a few Scottish short bread..... sit back and enjoy a Rog vlog.

    Great vlog Rog! I have been to North Berwick and yes I would take the ferry to Anstruther, just because it's a ferry, but I'm not too bothered about the fish and chips. The best fish and chips anyway are from the Mermaid in Barmouth which is fortunate as it's more my neck of the woods!

    The new Leven rail link will make it a bit easier to get to Anstruther by public transport. I will be at Leven station on its opening day on June 2nd and hope to see you there. I am getting the 9.21 train from Haymarket. Train enthusiasts such as Geoff Marshall and Stuart Boyd will be there. I hope to meet you there like I did at East Linton.

    Great vlog Roger and great variety of transport options. Have never been to either North Berwick or Anstruther, but look great places. The boat trip was a hit for me, and a great way to get between the towns. I'm not a big fan of fish! Would do that boat trip but not for a fish supper, nor at that price! Good idea to break the return journey, using coach and train! Pity weather wasn't good. I was in Alnwick and Amble today, and it was really warm and sunny.

      Well done on your correction. Your later pronunciation for Anstruther was very good, but just to add a bit, Ainster or A’nster, as I like to spell it, is as Donald says, purely the local pronunciation. Scots from outside the East Neuk generally pronounce it as you learned to.
      In fact true locals are prone to change vowel sounds so A’nster can be heard as E’nster, St Andrews as St Ondrews, (O as in ‘for’….think of the A pronounced as in ‘all’, St Monans is St. Minnins and so on….it’s a lovely place to live but can be confusing.
