The summer influx of tourists must have brought the village to life. In June 1903, the Evening Telegraph reported that "Largo and Lundin Links are now filling up, and both villages are already busy." It noted that many of the visitors came from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee and also that many people "come here year after year". If you have memories of summers spent in Lundin Links - maybe in one of the Boarding Houses - please leave a comment.

I grew up in the village of Thornton, where the railway was one of the main employers. My Dad was a railwayman, as we're most of the men in our street. My childhood memories of sunny summer days was of all my friends' families trekking down Station Road to Thornton Junction to catch the early morning train to Lundin Links. I remember well the 'long walk' from the station, which was actually only a short distance. At the end of a wonderful day playing amongst the dunes we all headed home on the last train.
