The Harbour. Fife Scotland. The Harbour, Lower Largo. Photographed late summer 2005 late evening, at the village of Largo on the East Coast of central Scotland. It was for centuries a prosperous fishing village noted for its manufacture of nets and knitwear. At the east end of the village Temple Hill is said to mark the site of land owned by the medieval Knights Templar who were brought to Scotland in the 12th Century by David I. Daniel Defoe visited Lower Largo in 1706 and was inspired to write The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe after visiting the birthplace of Alexander Selkirk who was marooned on the island of Juan Fernandez for 4 years. There is a statue commemorating 'Robinson Crusoe' on the site of the house where Selkirk was born in 1676.
