Fife’s Art Deco Heritage 3: Balcomie Links Hotel, Crail.
Posted in Art Deco, Fife at 17:47 on 5 July 2010
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.

And the west.
That flat roof must be a nightmare in the Fife climate.
Here’s a link to the hotel’s website. The blue looks a bit bluer in their photo….
