lower largoLower Largo is a beautiful village in the east neuk of fife, A perfect day for a trip to the beach with wife and kids buckets and spades, sand on the beach, sand in the hair, shoes and sandals, sandwiches, and the car.

To visit Lower Largo on a hot summer's day would think they were on Desert Island, warm wind blowing, blue water, blue sky with occasional white cloud, hot sand under foot, water lapping against the shore creating a steady sound.

The village of lower largo is small and quaint, unspoilt small streets for all ages to go and relax at the beach. Not easy to get around with car it's much easier to walk around. It can be busy if there is great amount traffic with visitors who come to see where Alexander Selkirk (Robinson Crusoe) was born.

The museum to Robinson Crusoe is situated on the sea front next to the local hotel with a small car park and on a hot day a great place to sit and have a drink on a hot day.

The local Pub called Railway Tavern clean and inviting in the heat, cool pint of lager with a small snack just perfect, the pub itself is railways modelers' haven, with scale models of various trains of yesteryear, old photographs of the village and villagers who worked within fishing industry and on the railways.

Robinson crusoe  

 The story of lower largo's most famous son "Robinson crusoe" was written by Daniel Defoe who is thought to have stolen the story after a conversation with Alexander Selkirk in an Edinburgh Pub.
