This is the abandoned building for the Loch Swilly Marina in County Donegal, Ireland. Although the marina is still operating, it was unable to secure government grants to enable it to complete all the facilities. Work stopped over ten years ago.

Old St Enoch subway station
This is another night-time picture from my last trip to Glasgow, letting the camera do its own thing, with reasonable results.
The building stands in isolation in St Enoch Square, just north of the River Clyde in Glasgow’s city centre. Originally built in 1896, this was the ticket office to the subway (Glasgow’s own underground railway) and the headquarters of the Glasgow District Subway Railway Company. When the St Enoch subway station was redeveloped in the 1970s the building became redundant and is now a Caffè Nero coffee shop.
The building is a visual delight and is, of course, listed. The listing details can be found on the Historic Scotland Listed Buildings register.

Gwynne House, mended
Although the photograph in the previous post was the authentic image, I felt like making a crude fix to the broken rendering on the wall.
