That’s a good looking project to keep that car park, but is it worth the time and cost. I’m sure it must be, but I have no idea. 

 

Yeah, my own views is that this is OTT and probably around £1.6bn cost - that's comparable to the Queensferry Crossing.

 

Anyway, we're way off topic here, so name the castle :D

Check out this proposal to avoid losing the railway station car park ...

 

 

If I may stay off-topic for a moment - how would they propose doing that?

 

Surely just a cut and reinstate rather than tunnelling under the existing carpark? Which would put the car park out of action for a considerable number of months anyway...wouldn't it?

 

And to go back on-topic...it's not Scalloway Castle...is it?

Presumably part of BAE Systems (or whatever it's called just now) then?  What's the warhead looking thing that's pointing out the window towards Fife? Never noticed it before today.

They were for testing radar and stuff by Ferranti. I think the fire service later used them for training.

I think it’s in case any signs of intelligence are found making the fife population much more dangerous.

Ah, see I had in my head that it was Fire service related, but when I looked yesterday, they were obviously more than that.

Phew, highly unlikely to be used then.

 

Cheers all.

I can normally spot the ones in Edinburgh right away when I see them. Outside of Edinburgh though, I’m hopeless at this. I’ve only had food from there once. It was when they first opened and it was as if it was the first time they’d run a takeaway. They didn’t seem to have a clue what they were doing. I’ll give it another try👍
