inverness

sprawl on south side between A9 and Culduthel

gross waste of space, wide roads in meaningless arcs, houses detached (just) wasting further space - all predicated on car use and built along the line of the "distributor road" which currently goes nowhere

it's me again. The late Alasdair Maclean had a phrase for it in his book "Night Falls in Ardnamurchan" not referring to Inverness in particular, but it will do as well as any: "one's first awareness is not of city dwelling as such but of undirected sprawl (which is strange given the numbers and activity of the planners). One comes across the town's extruded guts spilled out on to the land, digesting acres as they go"

Perhaps you should work for the planning department or architects within the highland council with your wise thoughts.....!
