COO'S A PRETTY BOY, THEN?

Submitted by Editor on

This rather appealing pigeon (right) and its mate have cropped up on one of the disintegrating entrances to the apparently disintegrating 93 McDonald Road (bottom of the page).

With typical brusqueness, the former electricity generating station at No. 93 is described in Gifford et al.'s The Buildings of Scotland: Edinburgh (1984) as:

... a huge shed with showy classical gable ... .

It was designed in 1899 by the City Engineer John Cooper.

Anyone out there aware of other instances of odd or well-crafted street-art at the moment?
