Is this Scotland's carbuncle capital?
IT was once a favourite Doon the Watter resort. But today a search for the tourist draw - the sea-front row of cafes, restaurants, the kind of shops where one might buy a beach-ball, bucket and spade - is doomed to failure. It should be Princes Street, but it doesn't have much in common with its namesake in Helensburgh, far less Edinburgh.
The few surviving shops are down-at heel, and it is separated from the shore by the harbour area, a collection of eyesores, some still in business, others awaiting demolition. Perhaps the kindest description of Ardrossan is a work in progress.

Hello Hugh. read that bit in the Herald and thought the group may like to see these pages. Scotland has to think better Cities and towns. But
that mean the people need to love their country. to many when you
say anything tell you it not their worry. I think that is wrong.
How is Betty hope she is still well. God bless you all. Ellen.
