On 12 September 1973, the East Fife Mail, under the headline "Unusual Design at Lundin Links", described the modern circular layout of the new school, with its six general purpose classrooms set around a central hall. The new building, started in January 1973, was a replacement for the old Lundin Mill School on Crescent Road (now the library). The new school cost £138,000. Pupils moved into the new school building in January 1974, making this year the 40th anniversary of the school being located at its present site.
Back in September 1973, building work was well advanced on the new Lundin Mill School. The site had previously been used as a chicken farm. The above image shows the north side of the school, looking south towards the houses of Woodlands Road, with the school football pitch between the two. The large house in the centre, partly obscured by trees, was at one time the manse for Largo St David's Church and the new modern houses to the left of it were built in what was once part of the manse's extensive garden.
