Fife’€™s Art Deco Heritage 3: Balcomie Links Hotel, Crail.

Not quite the sort of thing you expect to see in a Fife fishing village but I suspect this is from the heyday of the railways when such buildings sprang up all over the place. It is away from the harbour a bit, on the road leading east, so it doesn’t affect the quaintness.

It’s not high Deco but is clearly of that stamp. The windows are modernish replacements and detract from the look somewhat. They make the building look as if its eyes are poked out. Typical pastel and white colouring, though.

This is the view from the east.
