I've just noticed today that the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS) have added two new images of Lundin Links to their 'Britain from Above' website. These are the first images to be added from the Lundin Links and Largo area (although there are several views of neighbouring Leven). Use of the images on blogs is permitted provided they are not altered and the attribution is displayed. Both images were taken in 1954 and are centred on what is now the Old Manor Hotel, but then was the Beach Hotel.
The above image is a wider angle shot, including the railway station and its sidings to the lower right corner and Woodielea Road and the first hole of the Ladies Golf Course to the top right corner. Both images show the Standing Stanes in the centre of the golf course and the terraced garden of the hotel. Note the intensive cultivation of the ground to the left of the hotel and the very new looking houses on Links Road (then Station Road). Also noticeable are the gap sites on both sides of Leven Road, where more houses would later be built. Hopefully more images of the local area might be added to the Britain from Above website over time - I'll keep an eye out.
