[MFJ1872]

Seen it today on my way to Broxburn. Made my day. Well done to those responsible

 

[ace23ger]

Brilliant

Think this song is appropriate

Yeah, unfortunately gone now. But when I was driving home at 4pm, big up to the young lads on the bridge after with their Rangers flags, caused another bit of a traffic jam but was worth it.

On a Friday.

FM.
They couldn't even get "ten" correct, that's why we got Terry Munro.

Read on Twitter that it’s causing massive tailbacks because people are slowing down to see it.

Swinney will blame Rangers for trying to cause a pile up.

Another grassy knoll controversy.

That takes me back. Used to go through from Edinburgh to Glasgow every Sunday when I was wee to visit the grandparents in Nitshill and Easterhouse. We would pass those pyramids and I loved them!

What are they???!

FFS you need to ask?

They are a tribute to West Lothian's industrial heritage and represent the spoil bings of shale and coal mines in the area in times past.

The owners want to Suez in court

 

[Albertz Loyal]

That's brilliant.

Wee bit of info regarding the "Pyramids"

When they were first built they cost approximately £280,000.
The material they used to build then was the dirt that was dug out from the foundations to build Motorola.
They commissioned and "Artist" (hence the hefty price) to come up with an Idea on how to make the piles of dirt look attractive from the motorway.

The original name of the piece of work was the "Saw" as it is meant to resemble saw teeth.

Spent all that money and they just had to put 55 on it for free to make it interesting!!

Also that one on road to Cumbernauld mermaid type thing.

First time I saw that I wondered when was Beyoncé ever in Cumbernauld?

The Union flag on the pyramid is significant as there is now Covid Vaccination Facility at the Pyramids, I wonder who paid for the vaccines ? The SNP ?
