A stroll around the village will take you to Largo and Newburn Parish Church. There’s been a place of worship here since at least the 12^th century and the previous church was the final resting place of medieval Scottish naval hero Sir John Wood. Look out for the seashell-decorated gravestone of the Selkirk family – real-life Robinson Crusoe, Alexander Selkirk, was a member of this parish.

Nearby, Upper Largo Hotel upholds its 17^th century coaching inn origins by serving homemade food seven days a week, while John Wood’s Houses is an impressive 19th century building standing on the site of John Wood’s Hospital. In the 16^th century, John Wood’s Hospital cared for men called John Wood and, apparently, no-one else!

Lower Largo Cricket clubs’ three amateur teams regularly play matches on the village cricket green. Or, if golf’s your sport of choice, nearby Dumbarnie Golf Links is Scotland’s newest golf course and 14 of the 18 holes have views of Largo Bay.
