Hedgecutter Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Despite spending a decent chunk of my life living in Aberdeen, I had never noticed this seemingly random bunch of cobbles on Union Street until somebody pointed it out to me relatively recently. In this case it marks out Huxter's Row, a Medieval road that was flattened to build the iconic town house (and perhaps Brew Dog). This has me wondering what other sort of random or weird things exists around Scotland which I'd probably walk or drive straight past without appreciating, so teach me P&B... Also, I only recently stumbled across a massive quarry right beside the A96, just west of Elgin whilst wandering through the woods (don't ask). I've passed this junction more times than I care to remember and never realised that there's a 40m-high vertical cliff-face (with trees obscuring the edge) where I've drawn the red line below, so veer off here and you're mincemeat. Gets a mention on the old OS maps but (suspiciously) not the modern ones. Anyway, over to you... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 There's a house in Inverness with a replica Titanic in the back garden. The man that built and ran that topped himself via a very elaborate electrocution a few years back. I take it the boat has just been left to rot in his garden? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Muir Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 The words God is Love painted on the cliff face just outside Tobermory. I believe it was originally painted on by a minister after his daughter had survived a fall from the cliff. Unknown person(s) repaint it every year apparently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 There’s a barn with a sauropod dinosaur painted on it on the road between Haddington and Aberlady. Quite why, I’ve no idea, but I like it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one on the the Meadows in central Edinburgh and a whalebone arch on top of North Berwick Law which is now made of fibreglass after it rotted away beyond repair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) This one on Cumbrae will be well known to Weegies, but possibly not those from further afield: Also, there's a well-hidden 'cave hoose' in the cliffs near Arbroath that was kitted out with a front door, floor, decorated walls, chairs etc, although the door rusted and birds got in to sh*te all over the place.
