As a follow-up to the previous post on Bridgend House, here are a couple of different perspectives on the house and its outbuildings. Above is a c1900 view of the house tucked in next to the viaduct, with the wooden footbridge across the Keil Burn to the left and the Crusoe Hotel to the extreme right. The gable end of the Railway Tavern is obscuring much of Bridgend House itself. This image shows a small, low outbuilding right next to the railway bridge, which has since been demolished. Apparently, at one time fish was sold out of this little building.
The image below is a later one - certainly after 1914 when the road bridge over the Keil was built. A row of carts is visible to the left of the stables between the road and rail bridges, waiting to be tethered to horses. The road bridge pictured replaced the old wooden footbridge and greatly improved connections between Lundin Links and Lower Largo. I like this image because Bridgend House is nestled between 3 different bridges!
