This image of the Lundin Links Hotel must have been taken really soon after its completion in 1900. Note that the old cottages are still standing at the corner of Emsdorf Street and Links Road. These pre-dated the pharmacy and adjoining buildings which were constructed circa 1903. Note the protrusion at the corner of the old cottage, where the roof meets the frontage - suggesting this building may have originally been thatched.
Below are two magnified details from the image. Firstly, the entrance gates (complete with dog) and the front door (with a figure lurking in the shadows). This person may have been sitting in the sun on the deck chair just to the right of the entrance. Secondly, at the foot of the post, you can see the water tap that used to be located in the street outside the hotel (and previously the inn) as well as the buildings of Hillhead Lane on the left, in the distance. The garden in front of the hotel seems newly-planted and there is a separate gateway for people on foot to access the hotel.
