Around the Abbey and Pittencrieff, walls are often ashlar or rubble stone with openings that were never cut for a modern catalogue frame. Proportions matter: a deep reveal, a lintel that has already moved, or a sill that sheds rain poorly will show up on a careful survey. The aim is a window that sits quietly in the elevation — not a unit that shouts against the street.
Further out, Abbeyview, Touch and Duloch bring more regular openings and later wall constructions. The weather is still Fife weather, but the detailing is often simpler. That does not mean every house takes the same specification; it means the survey starts from what is actually built, not from a single town-wide template.
