[3] Near the eastern edge of the parish is situated Largo Law, height 953 ft.,[4] a conical hill of volcanic origin, whose summit provides an extensive view of the surrounding area and across the Firth of Forth to the Lothians.

West of Largo Law is a deep ravine, through which flows a small burn, intersecting the parish from north to south for 2 miles.

[7] The manse, which stands close by the west side of the Church, dates from 1760-1770, being considerably enlarged in 1822.

The Barony of Largo was conferred by James III in 1482 on Sir Andrew Wood, his naval commander, in recognition of his victories over the English.

During the second World War it served as headquarters of the Polish Parachute Brigade and in 1951 the roof was removed to avoid local property taxation.

[2] In the northern part of the parish lies New Gilston, a village 3 miles north of Upper Largo, surrounded by agricultural land.
