Old Photograph Railway Station Lower Largo East Neuk Of Fife Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station, houses and cottage in Lower Largo, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. An ancient fishing village, Lower Largo is famous as the 1676 birthplace of Alexander Selkirk, who provided inspiration for Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. The arrival of the railway in 1856 brought many tourists to Lower Largo's sandy beach. The railway line through Lower Largo was closed in the 1960s as part of the programme of cuts overseen by Dr. Richard Beeching.
