Opposite the hotel, on the far left above, is the garage which was once owned by David Ramage and then by Jimmy Purves. This image must have been captured not long before the house next to the garage (with 'no parking' daubed on the wall) was demolished and alterations were made to the garage. The building housing the garage was built around 1843 and was originally the Free Church.
A view looking east along Upper Largo's Main Street, taken from alongside the Upper Largo Hotel (on the right). The hotel was known as 'The Largo Hotel' at this time - as can just be made out on the nice piece of vintage signage advertising McEwan's shown in detail below. The hotel has a long history and has had a few name changes over the decades.

The opening between the hotel bar (now lounge) and the first cottage was the access to the hotel stables and coach house. Circa 1990 when I worked for The Hurd Rolland Partnership Architects I produced the drawings to convert the building into offices for a local holiday company. The layout was designed in such a way that it could be easily converted into a dwelling at a later stage.
