Rhinivie was named after a croft up in Bettyhill near Tongue on the north coast, which was once owned by a former Drumeldrie woman and was extended by Robert Band, who went on to build its Largo namesake. Both houses are situated close to where a river/stream meets the sea. Below are more images of the house during an earlier stage in the building process. Note that the top left picture shows the roof of the public conveniences featured in the previous post (marked with arrow).
Do you recognise this Lower Largo house? Back in the long hot summer of 1972 'Rhinivie' (now 2 Seatoun Place) was under construction - the good weather enabling it to be complete by October. The brick layers that worked on this house also worked on the new Lundin Mill Primary School the following year.

As well as the new primary school, there was the Durham Gardens development, Lundin Sports Club and other individual homes - including the one seen roofless on the left middle ground in the small image below (just off Drummochy Road) taken in 1973. Many thanks for John Band for both the photographs of Rhinivie and the information about the house.
