Historical sites in Scotland

Largo House, once a stately mansion in the Scottish Fife, was built in 1750 and served as the residence of the Lundin family. Over the years, the building experienced various uses and changes. During World War II, it served as the headquarters of the Polish parachute brigade. In 1951, the roof was removed to avoid local taxes, leading to a progressive decay of the building. Today, only ruins of the once imposing house remain.

I am a decendant of the Durhams that built Largo House. Durham's go even further back than the date of 1750 over the front door. Thanks for the great pictures. I was there in 2019 before covid hit (From Idaho, USA, my Durham came to the America's in 1750) and I did a thorough walk through with my wife. I have records showing the Durhams of Largo buying and selling properties and land in Seatown (Lower largo) back in the 1690's. The gardens were impressive, some fruit trees still living along the outer walls in 2019! I'd rebuild if I had the resources!

A little over grown and run run down, but I guess for the age its doing well, can see the old wooden support beams between what would have been the different floors, still able to get in and walk about, but maybe 4-5 ft of dirt under foot over there years on basement level.

Derelict, fenced-off and virtually unviewable due to dense vegetation. It's in the middle of a field used to graze cattle and the farmer isn't too happy about people wandering across to see it!
