The reveal of the buildings on this list wasn’t much of a shock, and I am humbled by the fact that two of them I work in, and another – see photo above – I pass at least four times a day (I even wrote a shitty blog about it a while back).
If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain – someone said that once (Dolly Parton and David Brent). Only through the contrast with the rotten can we appreciate the palatial.
FYI: I presently write this from a building on the list.
Wanderings and ... wonderings. 
Yes, there’s some horrible buildings for sure; what’s inexcusable is that the parliament is one of the worst. It looks like a hacienda after the storm has passed through. At least it’s not a massive rusty tin shed like Glasgow’s Transport museum, but all these buildings sink the soul…
The Scottish Parliament building really is an abomination. It puts hate in your heart!
I wish I could be so positive. You’re seeing it through rose-colored glasses!
