Ghostly from the past
This used to be the Scottish Office and years ago my dad worked here. It's due for demolition at some point I believe and it's a strange, slightly desolate sight covered in chicken wire. Walking past today I had a couple of flashbacks. Occasionally, after I moved to Edinburgh, I would meet dad here for lunch and he would treat me to a feed in the staff canteen. Just what an impoverished student needed! Then, on a demo against the Poll Tax outside the building I remember wincing every time someone came out, in case it was my dad!
It's a pretty brutal building and I don't think my dad was particularly enthusiastic about his time there but it has a presence about it, even when empty.
