Lower Largo Aug 2019
We decided to take a weekend in our homeland.I struggled to get somewhere to stay.In August most of the accommodation in Scotland is fully booked. After a long search I found a hotel in the Kingdom of Fife. The seaside village of Lower Largo.

Room with a view
We stayed at the Crusoe Hotel right at the small harbour.
The rooms were fine and food was superb.I had Salmon for dinner which was delicious. A hearty breakfast was served at the Castaway Restaurant.
The hotel has a Crusoe theme throughout.
The Railway Inn across the road has a special atmosphere. It has a great collection of gins.
