High Street, New Pitsligo is the main road passing through the village. Most of the buildings at the eastern end look original. 105 I think is probably more to the west. From memory (it is a couple of years since I was there) the same applies to the western end but I think there may be a few more more modern houses. As it was built on the side of quite a steep hill, the name is exactly what it says. Low Street is further down the hill. The old houses in School Street have been largely demolished and rebuilt relatively recently.
As far as lace making goes, this was a major centre and it was carried out largely in people's own homes.
