The parachute tower of the 1st Independent Polish Parachute Brigade (1 Samodzielna Brygada Spadochronowa) who were based at Largo House, Upper Largo, Fife, is shrouded in mystery and lore. As members of the brigade died off, the location of the tower got lost and forgotten (and even "re-located" to a place it had never existed).
75 years later I found the location and base of the tower.

It is widely reported (mainly on the internet) that the parachute training tower for The 1st Independent Polish Parachute Brigade (1 Samodzielna Brygada Spadochronowa) was at Largo House in Upper Largo, Fife, Scotland. This is simply not true!

Due to the location of the tower base, it's possible that you may be trespassing on a farmers field in order to see the tower base. I will leave the matter with you, but be warned, the residents at the nearby house may not take to kindly to you being there..
