Not an official anchorage but you can anchor off the church. Sadly, in 2019, the church was sold off by the Church of Scotland, redundant to requirements, far too big with a capacity for 420 people, and too expensive to maintain (£115 000 the lot, without the graveyard, but I don't know if it is still for sale or what has happened to it). Built in 1836, it is severe, symmetrical and rather peaceful inside which is now of course locked (the wooden pews and central 30ft-long communion table were lovely) and outside (where the graveyard is well looked after).
