I thought it was just me that hated the N&D sign and did not want to mention it in case I got accused of ....you know what..........
But yon is wilukkin (Kinloch Road Resident spelled that great loc\l word right)

How on earth did they get plannig permission for that? an abomination.

I never did think about the Woolworth's building, but thep is right enough, does look out of place...but it has been there all my life, just part of my beloved home town........but architectually minded first time vistors must be taken aback.

It will indeed. Nice safe place to practise Eskimo rolls and stuff without risking a floater in the face.

My kids can all swim - keeping them out of the Bay is the biggest job.

Just thought I'd bring this back to the fore now that things are coming to completion. Anyone got any further comment now that it's nearly finished

The Aqualibrium is now set to open on 1st June (might be the 2nd!) with Jack McConnell officially opening the facility on the 16th June 2006.

There has been a two week delay..

Perhaps someone else could add any news they have on this?
