Missing Inaction

The last time I walked through this part of the Heriot Watt University there were blocks of student accommodation standing here. Now it's an open grassy .The strange thing is that I'm sure that wander through was not very long ago and yet now they've disappeared. What did the Beatles sing? "There are places I remember, Some are gone and some remain". They have left one block up (at the back of the picture) as a reminder of what used to be. I'd grown so used to seeing them there the gap seems slightly shocking.

ps. at least at the time of posting you can see the three missing blocks are still on the map
