Photograph of the junction of Aberdour Road and Queensferry Road. All the buildings are the same as they were fifty years ago when this was taken in 1965. The Cottage Inn pub building can be seen on the left of the photo, with an old signpost pointing the way to Aberdour on the right.

Remember it well
Looks like the roads were just as bad back then.
Wonder if those people are still waiting on that bus
Remember pruning the roses in the raised bed in the middle of the road.
Note also the bus stop on Aberdour Road for the 1/1A to Linburn Road, conveniently located right outside the Cottage Inn. Stood at that stop many a time waiting on a bus to Blacklaw Farm after visiting relatives in Rosyth. I wonder how much the rise of the private car contributed to the demise of pubs such as The Cottage Inn.
They don’t build them like them eny more
I got knocked down there hit and run. A few years later obviously thanks for the memory Christine
Brings back a lot of memories,
My Grandparents owned a house just a few doors down on Queensferry Road 🙂
Bad roads then too
the house on the right was Dr Cross’s surgery, we used to go to him.
A lot memories stayed Aberdour Crescent many years ago now but knew all streets near
I was just going to say that the Dr surgery lol
Love looking at old photos. Our Doctors surgery was on the right hand side and got the bus from Abbeyview.
The stories that were told of my granddad coming home from the Cottage Inn! LOL!
And Malcolm St just around the corner where I grew up
Gosh! Remember it well!
Looks like Dunfermline has slowly and systematically been destroyed by the council planning numpties !!!!!!!!
That’s my old house no 3, from 1973-1980.
We moved in when the doctor moved. The old waiting room became our kitchen. We were having dinner one night and someone walked right into our kitchen expecting to see the doctor. He was rather embarrassed, my brothers and I found it hilarious.
The aspeys were our neighbours at no 1.
Can’t believe the Cottage Inn pub’s now Inglis the Vet and what I’ll always call Castaway is Paint Shed. Such a shame.
I think that the car parked on the right must be my father’s.He was Dr.Gordon and was in Practice with Dr.Cross until Cross retired in January 1973. I can’t make out the registration plate, but the make and twin colour of the car, match the Wolsely Dad had in 1965. We used to live at # 54 Aberdour Road until 1960. I have many happy memories of living there when I was very young.
I spent many days, over the years, at that bus stop, coming home from my grans in Rosyth.
Dr Gordon was my doctor when I lived in St Lawrence St about half way along Aberdour Rd. I worked in Whitehead’s garage in the 1950’s and Dr Gordon used to bring in his green Triumph Mayflower reg no HSA 725 which was an Aberdeen registration then.
