Neuk' is the old Scots word for corner, and the East Neuk is the name given to the area of land that runs around the East coast of Fife. The delightful East Neuk villages, nestling amongst the natural harbours of the coastline, are testimony to the heritage of sea-fishing that still lives on in the Kingdom of Fife. The villages host numerous festivals and activities throughout the year, from beach cricket to arts and food festivals.
The Old Manor Hotel is ideally located for exploring the East Neuk of Fife and St Andrews and a warm welcome awaits after long day sampling all the delights this magical region has to offer.

Lower Largo
A remarkably attractive village centre which backs onto the sea, and a very unusual rivermouth harbour. The narrow Main Street winds its way along the shoreline, the houses on its seaward side backing almost directly onto the beach. Lower Largo was the birthplace of Alexander Selkirk, whose adventures inspired Daniel Defoe's book, Robinson Crusoe. A bronze statue of Selkirk stands on the site of the cottage in which he was born.
