Have you considered blocking off the lower part of yoir window or are you a fan of that kind of building?
Ugh, I hate that building. So much ugliness
That building is a hate crime.
Who built that 1960’s brutalist monstrosity?
I used to work in that building.
I really think we should be integrating much more modern architecture into Edinburgh, but in a sympathetic way. This was just 60’s/70’s vandalism.
Both parts of the image are protected. But one needs to be demolished.
Horrendous building that I see most days.
I worked for the DSS. Great social life 😁
And the worst office block on the world too!
Hard to believe planners gave it the go ahead considering the hoops people need to jump through now.

I remember going to Edinburgh as a kid. This is one building I remembered decades later! Not the castle…
Why build a horrid grey box next to a national landmark?
That modern building looks like a prison.
Our ancestors designed things so much better than we do
I’ve never seen this view. From Glasgow but worked in Edinburgh. Is that view from a place the locals call “the dirty dykes”
You can imagine the architect selling this.”We have the traditional, old Edinburgh in the background, with the bold and new Edinburgh in the forefront embracing a futuristic, forward thinking city open to the modern and not ashamed to eclipse the past.”
Looks lovely. What’s the stony thing on the hill behind it?
I like how most of the rock has been turned into an oversized brutalist office complex. 10/10.
The jail in my city looks exactly like this lmao.
Beautiful castle view.
But that hedious building.
Whoever designed it needs to hand back their architecture degree or license.
Ye goddes, that’s one ugly pile of concrete in front of it.
Main point or the college of art eh
Why was 1960s Scotland filled with so many pricks who wanted to ruin Scotland’s natural and historic beauty with the ugliest fucking buildings imaginable
Yes, I couldn’t remember the name of it. I was desperate to leave.

Stirling Castle is far superior and has much more history.
