Upper Largo, Largo Home Farm, Sir Andrew Wood's Tower — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Sir Andrew Wood's Tower rises above Largo Home Farm as a medieval tower house, its stones unchanged since woodcock flights filled the dovecot below. Men climbed rope-ladder shafts to gather eggs while wood smoke stained the bricks, turning a private kitchen into a vertical farm. The tower still stands at Upper Largo, preserving the shape of a household that measured wealth in birds rather than gold.
