Who lives in a house like this? This building is brand new.
Dismayed by the waste of materials implied by the creation of this pompous pastiche which misdirects capital and skills to re-visit the past, we find ourselves asking "why?"
Scotland has many, many buildings like this - there's no need to create new ones; the Victorians were actually quite good with this French-Gothic style. Has our era no style of its own which we can be proud of?

Wow! Where is this architectural delight?
This confection of construction is in Bieldside. But the more pertinent question is "who?".
Witness the "eco-house" emerge, like a butterfly from a chrysalis cocoon ... (third movie down)

Let's play "Through the Keyhole" ... which infamous "eco-warrior" inhabits this humble abode with his trusty housekeeper, Mrs Doubtfire?
