If you want to support the Largo Library and Community Hub, this is the perfect opportunity.

At the Largo Library and Community Hub we thought we'd organise a fun afternoon to raise some funds to buy new books. We are looking forward to it 😁

We are partially through the Largo Heritage exhibition celebrating 350 years since Alexander Selkirk's birth.

There are still a few days left to go and say hello, take part in the treasure hunt and learn about this unique local legend or to drop into one of the fantastic events, including the theatre show or the cricket match. A huge thank you to everyone who has shown up so far. We have over 530 of you counted, which is absolutely amazing! Thank you to Stuart Donaldson for the boat photos...

Of course, if you have tickets for Selkirk Island Discs, that is tonight

Sorry to everyone who missed out.

A huge thank you to local resident Hamish Redpath, who captured this incredible footage of the flotilla and the Reaper arriving in Largo Bay, complementing the 350 celebrations of Alexander Selkirk.

It was an incredible day for it: sparkly sea, clear sky, and lots of happy people on the shore and in boats all around
