This image dates from the early years of the twentieth century and looks down Crescent Road in Lundin Links from just opposite 'Bourtree Brae House' towards the junction with Links Road. The houses on the right side of the road were already 50 years old by the time this photograph was take, while those on the left in the distance would have been much newer. The house in the foreground to the right was designed by James Campbell Walker c1860 but by the time this image was captured it had been extended to the right and a porch added to the front entrance.
The bare trees, heavily clothed figure walking along the street and the suggestion of frost on the grass make this a wintry scene. The south side of Crescent Road is undeveloped beyond the building behind the curve of the street in the distance. That building is, one-time boarding house, 'Lindisfarne', at the crossroads with Links Road (see detail below). Is was later subdivided into two homes - the ground floor flat retaining the name 'Lindisfarne' while the upper flat became named 'Glenartney'. Before this house was built, golf was played on the site.
