Fife / Re: Leith Holiday Home, Cupar

It was the Adamson Institute - not Institution when first opened. [reply to Cramond Brig]
The Leith Holiday Home and other reincarnations were before my time.
I remember it as a rehabilitation centre for the Blind in the fifties and sixties. I used to deliver 'messages' to Alwyn House as it was then known, firstly in wicker baskets by bicycle and later in wooden boxes by van.
I used to enjoy taking them into the immaculate kitchens and emptying them there. Mrs Fairlie could not have been nicer on the few occasions I spoke to her and was greatly admired in the village.
