 Lower 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.
