The Kintyre Forum

What do you think is an eyesore in Kintyre?

IMHO the biggest eyesore in the town is the pumping station on Kinloch Green.

The unpainted shop stores in Longrow need to be spruced up, hardly going to cost a fortune is it.

The old bus garage, at Muasdale, next to what used to be the Muasdale Arms, is a bit of a blot on the landscape.

Keil Hotel - a very sad eyesore and almost beyond repair.

. But some great memories.

Woolworths building

We were down at Southend at the weekend and the land to the right of the Argyll Hotel is a real dump and eyesore. Amazing what people can get away with. Caravans strewn all over the place. Perhaps it is a farmer's land?

Scotbet sign and shoe shop on the Main Street and of course Woolworths and the Royal Hotel.

CGS

Woolworths
The building adjacent to A.P Taylors & The Coffee Shop - (The Old Sherrif Court?)
The Royal Hotel
Pumping Station on the Esplanade
Various shop fronts
The sign above Soctbet.
The roughcast on the buildings above the bookshop to the property shop.

The list could go on but they are just a few within the town centre.

Totally agreed.....Tis such a shame that nothing can be done with it. Angus reminises often about the place and I wish I could have seen it in its hayday.

kind regards Jeff

CGS is a total eyesore, it's like a factory looming over the town!

my pet hate is the Nickel and Dime sign

and the townhall, it's hoora scabby
