Miss Margaret Cameron would have been a familiar face to anyone frequenting the Lundin Links Hotel between 1932 and 1962, as she worked there for 3 decades, right up until the time of her death. The above image shows her outside the hotel at an unknown date (perhaps 1940s), with an Emsdorf Street house in the background. She began work at the hotel on the same day that the Murisets took over in May 1932. In 1957, Miss Cameron's 25th anniversary of joining the hotel staff was marked. The Leven Mail of 22 May that year recorded the occasion as follows:
"A woman who has catered for the comfort and requirements of guests at the Lundin Links Hotel for the past quarter of a century is Miss Margaret Cameron, now manageress. Sunday marked the 25th anniversary of her service there - an unusual record in the hotel industry. To mark the occasion Miss Cameron received a solid mahogany bow-fronted writing desk from Mr and Mrs Muriset, owners of the Lundin Links Hotel."
Miss Cameron, a native of Cupar, was manageress up until her death in 1962. However, her memory lived on well beyond that time - not least because of ongoing tales of her 'ghost' making appearances around the hotel. If you remember Miss Cameron or know more about her role at the hotel, please comment.
