Tannadice Park is the home of Dundee United F C.

The ground sits between Tannadice and Sandeman Streets.

*The two stadiums are the closest grounds to each other in senior British football. See some of my photos of Dens Park here.

Pittenweem is a fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife.

It has an annual Art Festival which we usually attend. While there last year I came upon this Art Deco/Moderne building, acting as one of the venues. Whatever it’s certainly 1930s.

View from behind. A garage is to the left here:-

The garage:-

Pittenweem Primary School is not quite Art Deco, being erected in 1912, but has some prefigurative elements:-

Left-side entrance to Pittenweem Primary School:-

Thanks to Duncan for this one.

A short history with photographs of British Woolworth’s shop fronts, whose heyday was of course in the Art Deco 1930s.

As Duncan says, an old Woolies is almost instantly recognisable.

Kyle of Lochalsh is a village situated at the mouth of Loch Alsh, ten or so miles from Dornie and Eilean Donan Castle.

It is perhaps most famous for being the terminus of the Kyle of Lochalsh Railway line, which nominally runs from Dingwall but the trains go on to Inverness.

Kyle of Lochalsh Railway Station:-

The Station is effectively on the pier. Handy for goods traffic:-

Part of railway line:-

Signal Box, Kyle of Lochalsh, taken from same bridge as above:-

The village is quite small but as I recall represented the big bad wider world of fleshpots and the like for the inhabitants of the Applecross peninsula in His Bloody Project

The most impressive building in Lochalsh is the Lochalsh Hotel which has minor Art Deco leanings:-

Only a mile (or less) away is the Skye Bridge. (No need now to take a boat – bonny or otherwise – over the sea to Skye.) Skye hills in background:-

In the village there is a memorial in the form of a defused mine:-

Mine memorial inscription:-

I had seen a photograph of this on flickr a few years ago and resolved to look for the building when I next visited the town.

I couldn’t see hide nor hair of it.

It seems the creamery has been closed, demolished and replaced by housing.

That original photograph I saw is at https://flic.kr/p/5mGw8B

At the first link above I also found this photograph:-

There are three more here.

I’ve also found a video of the abandoned interior with one external shot at the end. It seems the video’s makers had no authorisation to enter the premises:-

And this one shows the demolition:-

Depressing.

I found two Art Deco styled buildings in Kirkcudbright. There was one I didn’t though. I’ll save that for a later post.

Here are the two I found.

First the Co-op:-

The former Post Office:

Detail:-

Not the sort of thing you really expect to come across on rounding a corner in rural Scotland. An Art Deco/Modernist Power Station.

Tongland Power Station, part of the Galloway hydro-electric power scheme, is in Dumfries and Galloway on the A711 between Castle Douglas and Kirkcudbright.

Frontage:-

Reverse view:-

Vehicle entrance gates:-

Detached building and what looks like a huge water tank:-

An Art Deco corner, Dumfries, Marchbank Bakers:-

Former County House:-

Art Deco styling on roof-line, Dumfries:-

Detail:-

The former British Linen Bank has deco style cladding on the ground floor:-

Detail round door:-

Dumfries’s Burton’s is typically Art Deco in style. Unusually for a Burton’s, though, it is built in red sandstone rather than having the usual white stone covering.

Front aspect:-

Upper detailing. Logo and motto, “Montague BURTON the Tailor of Taste”:-

Side view:-

Again the upper portion has a Burton’s logo and motto:-
