The Crusoe Hotel at Largo harbour has an information and display area on the real Robinson Crusoe. It is located near the reception in an area resembling below decks on board ship complete with creaky floor. The sound of the surf pounding the shore and the sing-song calls of birds is clearly heard on board as the ship approaches Juan Fernandez. Look through the port hole and there standing on the shore waiting to be rescued is Alexander Selkirk - the real Robinson Crusoe.

The display gives an account of the life of Alexander Selkirk with reference to William Dampier and Daniel Defoe. There are also several seafaring items of interest along with the last will and testament of Alexander Selkirk.

The surrounding area is steeped in history and offers many attractions and activities for visitors. The main activitiy tends to be golf and there are over 20 courses with a 12 mile radius including St. Andrews.

Places to visit in and around the Lower Largo area include Silverburn Park - Gardens and Craft Workshops in Leven or how about fishing expeditions sailing from Lower Largo itself, Anstruther (which also hosts the Scottish Fisheries Museum) or Pitenweem. Kellie Castle and Gardens, Deep Sea World at North Queensferry and the Castle and Cathedral in St Andrews all offer excellent days out within easy drive of The Crusoe as does the Golf Museum also in St Andrews. Also well worth a visit is the unique Secret Bunker near Anstruther which gives an insight to the workings of war in this underground hideaway.

Falkland Palace is only twenty minute drive away and this wonderful little village and historic building is a must with time for afternoon tea.

Scotland's Capital City is also easily accessible for day trip - simply jump on the train at Largo and Edinburgh's City Centre is less than an hour away.
