"tis a wicked ugly big building right enough! It is even facing the wrong way - well, it looks like that to me. I think the windows should face the sun AND the big ugly thing just dwarfs the war memorial~!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ARHGHHHGHGHH!!!!!!!!!

Is the ground round it getting re-turfed?

Maybe the ground will be painted green! :wink:

I meant to say - it is actually a interesting photo if you take the new building out Davie.

War Memorial, Town Hall, Catslehill Mansions (former church), Sherrif Court, Lorne Street Church and the Lorne and Lowland Church can all be seen. Rather interesting skyline when you see it like this.

When I have seen photos of the building before it looks interesting, but from this angle and showing the rest of the town, I hate saying it but it looks to be a total monstrosity... But ignoring the aqualibrium, the photo angle is amazing

I thep, beat me to it. Was in town yesterday and went to take a snap and you know what? no camera. Think once the landscaping is complete should look pretty nice. :roll: :lol:

Anyway Davie, good pic, and where were you standing when you took it?

Donchya just want to pick it up and turn it around? At least if it faced the view it would seem people inside would enjoy it more.

I'm afraid you're all missing the point about the windows. Those big windows you see are where the pool is, but on the other side at the top of the building is where the cafe is and it has lovely views of the loch and a nice outdoor balcony. I don't know about youreselves but I am not ususally too interested in whats going on outside when I'm doing a bckstroke in a swimmimg pool, but I do like a nice view when i'm sitting having a cup of tea and a scone (mmmmmmm scones!). Also if the big windows were on the other side, when it was a sunny day it ould probably be so hot inside the pool would be boiling over!

Good point about the cafe, Trapper. I missed seeing the windows and balcony on the other side, that will be nice.

In relooking at the pic, though, it seems that the other side isn't really facing the water either.

Here are a couple more pictures. Both show the balcony which overlooks the loch. You will also notice there are windows which overlook the loch from the pool too (you can see these on the first picture as well as the first one above).

The idea of the large windows, I am sure, is to overlook Kinloch Green which should in turn be part of the whole recreational area. (they in fact offer some light onto the park too which could be handy!)
