The village was largely built in the 19th century to accommodate tourists visiting the village of Lower Largo.[1] Lundin Links is contiguous with Lower Largo. The name reflects the Lundin family, former landowners in the area.[1] Lundin House was demolished in 1876 but its Tower remains.[2]
The former Lundin Links railway station, originally on the East of Fife Railway, operated from 1857 to 1965.[1][3]
The village has two golf courses. The 18-hole course, Lundin Golf Club, was used as a pre-qualifying course when The Open Championship is held at St. Andrews. Lundin Ladies' Golf Club (a 9-hole course) is the oldest women's golf course in the world.
On the second fairway of the ladies' course there is a cluster of three standing stones dating from the 2nd millennium BC that form a megalithic four-poster (one of the stones was lost around 1792).[4]
A Pictish-era graveyard has been exposed by coastal erosion and is the subject of archæological investigation.[5][6]
