PWL Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 This sculpture sits in the grounds of the old Woodilee asylum in Lenzie. When I first saw it, it was very much a WTF moment. However, when you read into it and see it's an acknowledgement of all the women who worked in the hospitals it is kind of apt and I quite like it.

Dee Man Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Hand carved tunnels under a pub in Edinburgh. Did a tour here in a few years back and it was fascinating. Highly recommend booking ahead and doing the guided tour. https://gilmertoncove.co.uk/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) You can also imagine my surprise when I wandered up a hill just outside of Fochabers a few weeks back to find a massive pyramid at the top. #ancientaliens Also, I'm sure it's not the only place to try this, but Tyrebagger forest (just outside of Aberdeen) has some real random sh*t* scattered in and around it. *and it really is sh*t Edited October 10, 2020 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the tour of Dumfries House a few years ago, and they had loads of decorative pineapples on stuff. Apparently, they were a symbol of wealth, and people who had access to a real one would rent it to their pals if they happened to be hosting a dinner party, as guests would see the pineapple on the table and think "These folk must be loaded". The guide did not offer an opinion on which way people like to insert them, which meant a great P&B question still remains unanswered. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridge of Allan One of the fancier benches I've seen is this one in Keith, right beside the A96 at St Rufus Church Was placed in memory of the local minister who was rarely away from his two labs and always seemed to wear odd socks (the colours here being those of Keith FC). Eta: for avoidance of doubt, the woman is not part of the bench as some Madam Tussauds-type effort.
