A comparison above of part of North Feus, Upper Largo, looking south east back towards the Main Street. Most of the prominent buildings in these views are largely unchanged. Even a telegraph post remains in the same position. The passage of time has mostly resulted in more hedges and cars. On the extreme left is an eye-catching skewput (the structural feature where the gable meets the top of the wall) in the form of a global atop a cube. That belongs to number 24 which is largely out of shot. The black and white fronted house next door is Briary Cottage. Further down this side of the street is the old school.

​Dominating the left side of the street is the rear of Rose Cottage (the front of which can be seen below in a Canmore photograph dating to the mid-1970s. Listed in 1984, the listing description is as follows:


Circa 1860; single storey and attic 3-bay cottage, whin rubble with prominent painted droved ashlar dressings. Central door, 12-pane glazing in ground and 3 bowed dormers. Slated roof, straight skews, end stacks with 3 diamond flues to each. 3 windows to rear with small piended addition at north east. Plaster decoration remains in hall.

The cottage on the left with the two Velux roof windows (on the colour photo), Briary Cottage was the first job my father did when he became a self employed joiner in 1968 and added a large dormer for attic bedrooms to the garden side of the roof. At that time it was owned by Mr and Mrs Peter Spencer.
