[More to come soon on how the site continued to evolve and on the creation of Seatoun Place.

The previous post covered how the site of the former mill at Lower Largo was converted into a caravan site in the early 1950s by Jack and Jean Philp (pictured left and right below respectively). The site would develop and evolve over the years, both in terms of facilities added and alterations to the physical site, such as the building of a new sea wall in 1963. Below left is a photograph taken during 1964, showing (left to right) Archie Fyfe, Jimmy McGuckin, Jim Nicol, Dougie Thomson and Robert Band undertaking some work on the site, aided by the Fordson Major tractor. On the right below is Catherine Band (nee Philp), wife of Robert and daughter of Jack and Jean. At the foot of the post is a wintry view of the site in the mid-1950s. This shows the old mill manager's house, which became the toilet block and shop. This building was further altered in the mid-1960s, after Jean Philp obtained permission to refurbish it into a habitable dwelling.
