Lundin Links
Lundin Links & Largo
Lundin Links is the most westerly of the East Neuk villages. It is popular with the golfing fraternity and boasts some fine courses. On the ladies course you can see three large standing stones, reminders of the Bronze Age peoples who once populated this area. Next door to Lundin Links is Lower Largo, best known as the birthplace of Alexander Selkirk, the real-life Robinson Crusoe. His statue can be seen in the main street running behind the Crusoe Hotel. This was once an important fishing centre. Now it is a popular holiday resort with its golden crescent of sand and picturesque little harbour, framed by an impressive railway viaduct.
