Lundin Tower lies just outside the village of Lundin Links to the north west. The above postcard was sent in 1905, so the image must pre-date that year. Lundin Tower, as it became known, was once part of the old Lundin House which was demolished in 1876. The tower itself is thought to date from the late 16th or early 17th century but has had many more recent alterations. Lundin Tower is described by Historic Scotland as a:
"6 stage rubble stair tower but with chambers on the 2 upper floors....the tower is parapeted with crenellated angle turrets at the south east and south west; these are corbelled at the upper floors. A variety of opening of various dates including a Y-traceried window to upper-most chamber. Single storey polygonal projection to south with ogee headed openings and crenellated parapet of 19th century date."
The tower became a category B listed building in 1984 and in 1995 was incorporated into a modern private home. The more recent photograph was taken post-conversion and is taken from the Lundin Ladies Golf Course. More in the next post on the history of Lundin House.
