About
The Anstruther Model Solar System is a true scale model of the Sun, the eight planets from Mercury to Neptune and the dwarf planets Ceres and Pluto. They are represented by 11 bronze plates around Anstruther which, together with the distances between them, are all to the same scale. The scale is 1 to ten thousand million. The plates are fixed to the wall, mostly along Shore Street in Anstruther.
