Can you identify this Highland location?
September 1st, 2010 | 
Author: It was described by Urban Realm, the organisers of the annual Carbuncle Awards, previously awarded to such places as Cumbernauld and Coatbridge.
“xxxx …. which could be one of the most beautiful places in the Highlands, is all too often a depressing place… no passion has gone into the development or upkeep… development and progress has gone hand in hand with drive in retail, business parks and disjointed housing developments. Far from focusing on its unique Highland identity, an identikit sprawl of nowhere spaces are being built”.
No don’t worry, for a moment I thought this was describing Nairn, but it is in fact Inverness on the shortlist for winning the Award. So that’s OK then!
