    I've only ever been around the central belt. The Glasgow sandstone makes the place look drab as **** I must say.

    There is a Pictish stone in a field about a mile from where I grew up and they never bothered to cover it up. When the farmer used modern pesticides/fertilisers or whatever it attacked the stone and wore all the carvings off. <doh>

    Suppose it's nice if it's well maintained, with a bit of green. I'm more thinking of this

    Paisley only has a few red sandstone buildings - they've always been seen as the upmarket ones.

    Blonde sandstone is yer Paisley cooncil standard.

    Aberdeen was shat upon the earth; a big grey boring jobby & Dundee looks like something out of Mad Max.

    More authentic ER gibberish folks.
