I remember visiting Largo House way back in the sixties , even in its sad condition it stood very proud with that magnificent coat of arms , Looking outwards from the house what you see is amazing everything falls away giving a fantastic open view ,from the Bass rock in the Forth to Edinburgh . It has two main entrances that lead up to the house East and west The builder that choose this position for the house did well , It is believed that the architect could be Robert Adam .
So happy to see you out and about again. This is my favourite kind of place but so sad to see it's almost unrecognisable from the old photo. The safe was cool.
Good afternoon mate. What a grand extravagant house this once was in its hey day. I always imagine the servants and house owners in these places and think about the lifes and adventure they all had. It's a huge huge property even as ruins it was Still absolutely amazing, I loved the bird life definitely abundance of it and so lush. You get use to the smell of cow poo pretty fast when hour around it alot lol I farmed most of my life. Thanks for a very interesting walk through history. Have an amazing rest of your week my friend
Hello ma friend and thanks, I wish you a great rest of the weekend also, as unstable as it is, it was still great to get a look around at this one, as you say it must have been awesome in it's day ✌🏽
Brilliant location and great video. Good to see you getting back into the history filming again. I believe there was also a plaque dedicated to the polish troops at Eastend House, although it would take a very brave person to venture in there now with the condition it's in. Some incredible architectural details in this place. I see we both dislike passing through doorways with timber supports lol. Nice work being able to add the old photos to show us how it was. Hope all is well and looking forward to seeing more like this.
Yes ma friend, never can be too safe lol and yeah eastend was in very bad shape even when I was there, it's great to be getting back to what I enjoy most, thanks 🙂
Still magnificent, even in ruins. Do you know when it was last occupied? ( before the war) The massive wall safe & servants tunnels where great to see. Thank you for the explore!
The polish would have really been the last to occupy the house and left in 1947 the roof taxes were too expensive in the early 50's forcing the decline of the the building, my pleasure thanks
@@DiscoverWithPajerico It does not make sense that it was not feasible to use the building for anything. Or that it was any kind of saving to not give it upkeep...I would say this building is likely the victim of some 'false history' & that there is another dimension to its story hiding somewhere... I did like your exploration & efforts. Many thanks.
@@michaellloyd8594 There is no secret, other than the family who inherited it wanted it demolished to build on the land, but their request was refused due to its historical significance to Largo. Even though the building was spared, nothing further has been done to halt its decline into total ruin.
That roof tax was the downfall for a bloody lot of castles and manors, nobody wanted too pay and build or bought else were, and a lot of history was turned into ruins, nice explore but going in winter when the green stuff is better, you can see more.
I used to visit here as a child when it was overgrown, like now, but not to this extent. Then it was all cleared away; rhododendron cut back to reveal the outer buildings, and there was a small gravestone to the right of the east wing, which would have been a marker to a beloved pet. I so wish this could be saved; restored to a habitable residence once more.
The photo puts everything in perspective. What a majestic place in it’s time. That’s again for the tour.
They really do, thanks for watching :)

Just browsing through some of your old explores. I really enjoy learning about history of other places.

@@michaellloyd8594 That might be the case but until we know we just don't know, intriguing thought.
