The Far from perfect Pavilion

Billy Connolly made the joke that the Queen must think the world smells of fresh paint because wherever she goes someone precedes her tarting up the unsightly.

This seems to be the policy of East Lothian Council who are hiding the old pavillion behind a screen supposedly depicting the sea beyond. This is in view of the impending opening of the John Muir way, a new walkway from Dunbar in the East coast to Helensburgh on the West, a total of 107 miles. It is officially opened on 21 April when the First Minister arrives in Dunbar to officiate. And of course the semi derelict building has to be disguised!

The building which is on Common Good Land cannot be demolished because of that reason, but the Council in its ultimate wisdom have decided to let it get into its present state nevertheless. So no changing room or showers for the football or rugby players.
