New Aberdour Village Hall
Though just as difficult to photograph as seven years ago (see Image]) this does possibly give a slightly better view of it. Late Victorian, it was opened by the Earl of Aberdeen in 1892 and extended later.

Bus Stop and Toilets
I know they are essential amenities, but the siting and design of these are utterly insensitive. Why could the toilets not have been built on the other side of the street, where they would not have intruded so grossly between the parish kirk and the village hall? Or, if absolutely they had to go here, could they not have been built in a style more sympathetic to the neighbouring buildings? The bus stop, on its own, isn't quite so ugly.
Edit: The bus stop has been decorated since I took this shot. See Image

New Aberdour Village Hall
This severe granite building is all but impossible to photograph well, thanks to the quite extraordinarily insensitive siting of the public toilets, an ugly concrete box, right by the road between the kirk and the hall. A corner of the toilet block intrudes at lower right in this image, and the blue plastic skip does nothing to enhance the view either.

Patriotic bus shelter
It looks a bit smarter than when Anne Burgess photographed it four years previously: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5259244 .

Aberdour Parish Kirk
This building dates from 1818, and was built here to serve the new village created by William Gordon in 1798. It is attibuted to Aberdeen architect John Smith (1781-1852). Like its now ruined predecessor it is dedicated to St Drostan. The little porch at this end bears the date 1885.
