"I would go as far as saying this building is as important as Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Glasgow School of Art.* That is how high I rate its place in the pantheon of Scottish architecture. This is unequivocally an excellent structure that is worth saving."

"... it looks to an average person, who does not have a lot of architectural background, a bit like a concrete car park that has fallen into ruin.
Unusually for property in Britain, the owners have said that they would "literally give it away". You can read why, and see more pics in this report:- https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-46822229
